ronald, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Evening meals in restaurant were tasty and a good selection of options. Bonus for me was that they did small portions of many of the meals. Service for Evening meals and breakfast was excellent with staff friendly. Bedrooms were large and clean but very warm! It made it difficult to sleep because of it despite keeping bedroom window wide open all the time. Main area and pool were well kept . Stairs and corridors carpets were tired and stained looking but overall was very pleasantly surprised and would happily stay there again :)

So good! The spa was fabulous! Clean, nice size pool for a gentle paddle, definitely a delightful stop!
Sam, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Comfortable but tired

We stayed for a couple of nights whilst visiting family in the area. We felt that the hotel was comfortable, but in need of significant modernising. Our room was feeling very tired , with dated and scuffed furnishings . The walls were also very thin leading to disturbed sleep thanks to some amerous neighbours! The leisure facilities are a real bonus, with a good pool, steam room, sauna and jacuzzi. The staff both in the hotel and at the pool were profesional and friendly throughout our stay

Ok but needs an upgrade

Have stayed here a few times before. We came for our anniversary but unfortunately wasn’t impressed this time. Our room was nice enough and comfy bed. There was 2 coffee cups with coffee & tea but no teaspoons to stir it. There also was no hand soap, shower gel etc or anything at all to wash your hands with in the bathroom which I found pretty poor. The spa is ok, pool is nice but it’s very tired looking and needs a good upgrade tbh. Steamroom was like sitting in a cupboard.

very comfortable place, well situated - the only down side was 30 stairs to get to our room - but it was a comfortable room. the swim and gym facilities of course were a real bonus - added to our value

Great location. Good food , staff were helpful and the hotel was lovely. The only downside was the bathrooms need modernising a they are a bit dated with some of the tiles and decor old

4/10 Fair

Disappointed

There were no elevators which wouldn’t have been a problem, except we had to go through lots of hallways and down several flights of stairs with our luggage. One of our rooms had lots of spiders in it. Breakfast was served a little late so we weren’t able to eat anything before we needed to get back on the road; there wasn’t even any fruit or coffee/tea set out so people could grab stuff on the go.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

The place is nice, clean, staff are very nice WiFi signal is weak, the washroom needs to be updated, it was a very hot day, yet the heaters were on in the hallways Otherwise the room and the washroom were very clean and spacious
