8/10 Good
"Hotel was very clean and staff all lovely. Our room needed a lick of paint but otherwise ok. Blackout curtains work really well. No chamomile tea in room for bedtime but available at breakfast was a bit odd. Wide choice at breakfast but the black pudding and hash browns were tasteless. Lockers in leisure club were awful I tried 3 lockers before found one that worked but then couldn’t get my stuff out after my swim. Pool quite small and other swimmers couldn’t see the sense in all swimming clockwise to keep us all moving. Gym facilities seemed good but that area was very warm. Overall beautiful building, good parking, well located and a good sleep. Staff were great."
