We stayed here just as a stop over and it was a very small and low double bed in a huge room. It wasnt the cleanest so I was glad I had slippers with me. Shower ceiling was too low for a 6'2 person so my partner had to crouch. The main parts of the hotel looked nice on arrival, but we didnt make use of it. Nice and quiet despite the location.
A clean and comfortable hotel to stay on the drive up to Scotland

Amazing hotel with great spa facilities, friendly and attentive staff. The room was spacious enough for two adults and two children plus one dog. We ate an evening meal in the restaurant as we were on a dinner but in breakfast wait the staff again were great with brilliant gluten-free options on the menu.

Yes the room was good , staff good generally very good
Room was enormous and staff were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the wedding I was attending was marred by extensive gaps between the various stages. Still managed to have a good time in the end.

We had a good stay, enjoyed the pool, and the food and service was great
Will absolutely stay again. Arrived late from heysham and with baby - everything was ready for us and really easy. Room large and clean. Cot was great. Breakfast was fresh and more than we expected. Team members we met were really friendly. Can’t say a bad word!
