Nice hotel. Parking ridiculous! After paying motel costs, you get 3 pound off a 6 pound overnight charge. Ross in the gym did not want to be there! Good food and environment.

Beautiful hotel
Hotel was lovely. Nice ambiance when you entered and it smelled beautiful. Checkin was flawless. Breakfast was delicious and hot. Rooms were immaculately clean. Perfect stay. My only negative is we were not told on check in you had to book for leisure side which fortunately we were there for 2 nights and managed to get booked for 2nd day. And you had to pay for parking which was strange for a guest staying in hotel

Good stay, bed was too hard for me
It was a nice room. Bathroom was a good size, nice light from the windows and the bed was large too. My only negative is that it was quite a hard bed and I get quite a sore back from hard beds so was in a bit of pain in the morning (fyi I’m under the age of 40 😂). Great size room though.

6/10 Good

Meh.
All a bit chaotic. Rooms not well equipped, missing several basics that I consider a bare minimum for a hotel. No kettle, no flannels, no water. Kitchen closed early, food was barely average. Staff were lovely though.

Enjoyed my stay
Food in the restaurant was good and not too expensive. Delicious breakfast. The pool was a little too small to swim in with the water babies class going on. Disappointed to have to pay for parking. Overall a nice stay.
