Booked because price was appealing, however unless you book direct, there is a £20pp fee to use the spa facilities which bumps the price up anyway. Room was ok, confortable but very Premier Inn like. Food at dinner was lovely, service at breakfast was terrible. There are other hotels in the area that are much better value for money.

Nice 2 day relaxing birthday break

Nice 2 day birthday break for my partner, hotel was spotlessly clean, rooms were well equipped, although a smart tv would have gave it 5 stars instead of 4, bed was exceptionally comfortable & massive, food was great but slightly overpriced we thought, the SPA suite wasn't the best but relaxing, SPA treatments were way overpriced for what was on offer, but we enjoyed our stay

Top marks for Keiran the chef!

AMAZING!!! The restaurant team were simply the best. We had our 7 year old grandson with us who has autism, and the staff went well over and above for us. George spoke to him, Keiran the chef came out of the kitchen to see him. Truly exceptional and in his words “the best night ever”. Service goes a long way and this whole team nailed it, even with our annoyingly awkward requests with our meals. We love a night away and I have not experienced service like this for a long time. The management team should be proud of a truly exceptional front of house team, and of course a special mention to Keiran for making it a night to remember.

Poor food offer

Decent hotel. Little overpriced. Clean and reasonble sized beds and bedrooms. Restaurant service is abysmal. Breakfast order must be given immediately server welcomes you or the wait can be an age. The breakfast is usually poor to average. Evening menu is poor. Food is average

Okay but needs an upgrade

Reception staff and restaurant staff were all very good, but the hotel is ordinary. Mattresses felt cheap, crunchy sheets and towels and the thinnest duvet. I couldn’t get warm on our second night. An investment into mattress toppers and cosy bedding and towels would give you a much higher rating. Luxuries you expect at a spa hotel!

The hotel was lovely, the girls on reception were very nice and couldn't do enough for you. We were on the ground floor and in the mornings it was very noisy outside so couldn't sleep as long as we wanted. The rooms were lovely and the bed was extremely comfortable but the shower was not great, there wasn't good pressure of water and the water was only slightly warm so that was a big disappointment. Apart from that everything else was good.

Disappointed

Ok accommodation for a 1 night stay, mattress needs replacing. Bedding needs updating as quite rough. Room looks tired and dull. Bathroom requires upgrading, very dark and dingy, service panel for water pipes stuck on with blu-tak, not professional. Breakfast was awful, cheap ingredients and cooked to a poor quality. Staff were lovely, professional and approachable. For a 4 star hotel, I was very disappointed.
