"My husband and I were there just for a quick break, just a couple of hours from home. The hotel was easily found and plenty of parking spaces including disabled. Reception staff were polite and friendly and our room was spacious and comfortable. We did not use the spa amenities as travelling about most of the day we just wanted a drink and some entertainment. We were not disappointed in that, we were room only as both of us cannot eat a big feed in the morning but you could book in for breakfast if you wanted. Could not fault this hotel."
