Another great stay
Another great stay! Lovely room. Breakfast always wonderful. We also had lunch which was really good.
The place and the staff never disappoint. We didnt catch the name of the lovely waitress who served us brekfast and lunch but she was very efficient and professional.
We visited the spa twice which is always great - must try and book in the summer when we can sit in the gardens.

Overall very good hotel with excellent facilities
Very comfy bed , quiet , nice leisure centre with excellent facilities that you can use for free during your stay
Spacious and quiet room
Room service food was very nice (sandwiche/fries/salad
Although quite expensive totalling £19
I can't really fault the hotel in any way
Only thing I would say is that I was told I could use the pool until 6pm when I arrived only to be told it was closing at 5 40 which was disappointing. But other than that I have no negatives to mention

Nice place, shame about the duvet.
Staff were friendly. Building was nice, but the room was not that comfortable. No fridge and the safe was broken. The worst thing was that the bed was a 6ft mattress but we only had a 5ft duvet, which didn’t cover two people in the bed. This meant we had a poor night’s sleep.

The restaurant staff are wonderful, tbh I'm reluctant to share how wonderful this place is would like to keep it secret.
A family were v annoying with a tennis ball and needed to be stopped only down side.
Cocktails are excellent.
