We had a good stay, enjoyed the pool, and the food and service was great
Clean and nicely decorated room. Unexpected mini fridge with nice goodies in it - drinks, kitkats, crips, biscuits. Massive and comfy bed. Great shower. Breakfast was good & plentiful. Only think that lets this hotel down is the poor state of repair in leisure facilities- noisy plant, grubby looking, pool lining ridged, changing facilities a little dirty and needing work. Money needs spent on an overhaul to this area of the hotel. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of our stay.
Excellent value for money and great facilities. Clean, good sized room and friendly staff - with onsite parking. Location out of town hence average feedback otherwise excellent.
We were really impressed by the food and good menu with lots of choices. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool and spa was great although slightly run down. Overall we were very happy with our stay and would absolutely come back
