I’ve just returned home from 3 nights at this hotel. The first night wasn’t great, the hotel is used by lots of tradesmen and unfortunately I had one either side of me who both were up and about at 4am. One had their tv on so loud I could hear every word and the other was just making a racket. The rooms are mainly overlooking the car park so you will hear the traffic noise, doors slamming etc. The windows could do with replacing. I actually complained as I was travelling for work and had a heavy 4 days ahead of me, booked into the hotel. The lovely people on reception actually moved my room completely and I ended up in one of the suites. It was upstairs and looked like it had been upgraded compared to the room downstairs. All in all, the room upstairs was lovely and I had a peaceful further couple of nights. In future I would request a room upstairs out the back of the hotel

Was a spacious room. Good food. Nice staff. Only issue was your don’t have a card to get to the swimming pool/cafe/bar and reception have to let you in. Two times we spent at least 10mins waiting at the gate. Reception was busy with other customers.

The manager, Paul Mednick was amazing. Super manager, great energy, customer support and attention to detail. Our room was dated and in need of tlc but it was clean with a great shower. Also, no place to get a drink after 10pm. Really surprising.

The rooms were dirty and dated the glass was blown in the windows so you couldn’t enjoy the view. The rooms needed to be updated and wasn’t very clean the wallpaper was stained and the carpet was nasty. They charge full rate for these rooms and it was no way worth the money. I would not go back or recommend

Booked a last minute stay and was lovely. Used the pool area and changing rooms etc all good. Had a drink in the bar terrace which was lovely. Room was spaces and fan provided due to hot weather. Lovely and quiet no issues at all.

The hotel is set in beautiful surroundings and only a short drive into town. Room was very clean and tidy with everything you need. The bathroom needed a bit of an update but not sure if this is on there to do list. Breakfast good along with the gym , pool and health spa a bonus although didn’t get time to use them. Overall great stay, will go back again.

One night away due to work. Room was nice, breakfast and Wifi not so good. I was in a room at the end of the building and Wifi could not reach my laptop or phone. The mobile service is shocking, so it was hard to make calls and join Zoom meetings.

Arrived at 9.15pm and reception was closed. Night porter number provided, which we rang 5 times over a period of 20 minutes. A very frustrating start. A guy eventually came and got us in. Room great, clean and spacious. The iron broke and tripped the sockets so they all stopped working. The staff were very good at resolving this quickly, giving us use of another room as we were on a tight time schedule. We did breakfast as an add-on. On the Saturday morning the breakfast buffet was great, however the staff not great. The young lady serving walked off without communicating with us, leaving us confused. There is a need for customer service training! We enjoyed the food so returned for breakfast on Sunday morning. Allegedly breakfast is on until 10.30am at weekends. We arrived shortly after 9.30 to find barely anything there, not even tea bags- had to request these. Having had a vegan breakfast on the Saturday we were told this doesn’t exist on the Sunday. It did get sorted but again, there is a clear training need for staff. Overall, nice hotel. Staff either brilliant or very poor. Hit and miss!

There was no lift to our room so it was a struggle for my husband to get upstairs. Also I wanted to have a bath but you can’t run the hot tap first because of the shower screen being in the way of reaching the taps without getting in the bath.
