The chap on reception when we arrived was particularly helpful as we were struggling due age and limited mobility. He carried our luggage and found us a more suitable room as the original room was way too far for us to walk to. Our special celebration short break would have been completely ruined. The room was lovely the bed was excellent. The Italian restaurant was good and the staff were lovely. Ended up being a really nice break thanks to the young man at reception.
We arrived early for check in, plenty of parking spaces. Our room was ready, staff were friendly and welcoming. Our room was clean and extremely well presented. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom spotless. Breakfast was buffet style with lots to choose from, hot and cold options. The hotel has great facilities and beautiful grounds.
We stayed here for a week and found everything top class. We ate in three different restaurants each of which were very good. The staff throughout were very friendly and attentive.
We will definitely be back for a return visit.
Brilliant stay. Steam room was grimy but apart from that it was fantastic.

Bed was terrible, two bed pushed together, lumpy and uncomfortable. Bath panel was peeling and untidy, although the room and bathroom was clean.
Checking out no one asked how my stay was, just the room number.

The Morlich was closed for the night I booked, stayed in a different hotel on the complex.
Room clean and tidy.
Didn’t use the dining facilities, breakfast at £25 a head too expensive even though I can claim it back.
The room was good. Comfy bed. Clean.
Breakfast average. Good parking.
Check in was absolutely absurd. Arrived at 3:00 and did not get into room until 4.30!!
It appears if you do not book direct you are shunted to the back of the queue and that includes Expedia
They give you deals and then treat you like third class citizens.
No explanations - no apologies. Absolute disgrace!
Hotel /resort is great rooms and e spacious and staff are friendly, had a meal in restaurant steak house was delicious, breakfast was ok basic sausage egg bacon beans potato scone toast and cereals and yoghurt and fruit if u want stay a bit more healthier , would say some of breakfast items were very over cooked tho

Clean, spacious room. Welcoming and helpful staff.
We had a lovely stay at the hotel. The staff were extremely polite and professional, making us feel very welcome from start to finish. Our room was clean, comfortable, and the heating was amazing — we felt warm and cosy throughout our stay. We also dined at the restaurants and the food was really tasty, with excellent service. Overall, a great experience and we would definitely recommend this stay to others.
A lovely hotel, good facilities. Reception staff didn’t know basic things like the opening times of the pool which was a little frustrating but did not detract from the comfort of the stay.
