Always great staff and clean.
Our room had a really bright light a few metres from our room shining straight into our room. This together with traffic noise from main road made it hard to sleep.

The breakfast and the swimming pool were good.
Check in Experience was poor. Female member of staff offered little solutions for a single mother with 3 young children who had a reservation via booking.com and was told they had no rooms left.

Staff everyone were extremely professional the client experience was way beyond expectations. Breakfast was great all freshly cooked and great healthy options as well. Gym and pool just rounded it off nicely. Great parking.
Property is tired but very clean and comfortable so and does not detract too much from the otherwise great experience and service
7.0 / 10.0
Relaxed atmosphere, good bar and perfect location. Nice to have pool/gym on site
Rooms a little small, especially the bathroom. Needs a refurb in rooms and corridors. Tv in our room had only a few Channels and none of the main “4” were working. Despite complaining twice this wasn’t resolved while we were there.

The location was great, the choice of breakfast was good and leisure facilities a plus too.
The room was tiny, the bed was uncomfortable and the shower room was so small you could hardly get inside to close the door!

Plug sockets on only one side of the bed, room a little cramped

The location was fab, as me and my sister got together and planned to meet up with our mum.
The heating had an issue, it was cold for my mum and we got a member of staff to come have a look. It wasn’t working then but nothing was done. I found the shower wasn’t working too, we did let them know when checking out.

Location was easy - just off the main trunk roads.
Parking was good
It’s a very tired hotel badly in need of redecoration. My bathroom was tiny - had to squeeze up to the toilet to shut the door. Power shower was pretty feable. Room backed into a building site which I didn’t realise until they started work at about 7am. Went for dinner at 8:45pm ish - no staff around. I had to go to reception to find someone to serve me. Pool was closed, which I only found out on arrival. I paid extra for a bit of luxury but would have done better in a Premier inn.

The room was clean and quiet ideal for our journey after a long day of travelling and event before proceeding on to our next destination and the son's and grandson enjoyed the swimming pool before leaving
Finding the rooms was a little bit of a trial no floor plan of where everything was and although both rooms on the upper level quite far apart

The breakfasts were very good. The swimming pool was very good and clean.
The location was a little bit outside the town and our windows needed the glass replacing as there was a lot of condensation between the double glazing. The jacuzzi was tiny. There was not always someone available at the pool entrance.
2.0 / 10.0
The bar area as it was light bright colourful.
Relatively rundown, The room was hot as the air con wasn’t working. Only one fan did nothing. We booked a twin room with a bath. We got a double room with a shower. There was somebody pubic hair on the toilet roll. The bed was extremely uncomfortable as was the sofa bed.  The swimming pool was a small section and one side for Lane swimming one side for play. Most people hovered in the play section. Shallow pool no jumping allowed.  The breakfast however, was superb!! Add go there just for that! I would never return for accommodation. The staff were accommodating bar lacked enthusiasm. We ended up cutting our holiday short and the hotel are being difficult about my refund. I have insurance for my holiday so I am rest assured it will be dealt with. I highly recommend you add on the insurance to holidays!

The Staff are Friendly and helpful, The food is very nice although a little expensive. We paid for Half Board not alot to choose from.on special menu.
Paid for a King Premium Room and turned out overall smaller than the standard double we had stayed in the week before. The bathroom was very cramped. Bed extremely soft and uncomfortable, certainly not a large double or king bed. The mattress protector didn't even fit the bed. Walls dirty with stains and hand prints on. Outside of Kettle dirty. Extractor fan in Bathroom was filthy. I'm not at all happy with the room or the amount of money paid for it. A complete letdown considering last weeks room. Was a lot cheaper and much cleaner, bigger and more comfortable.

Really good value for money, deals for children were excellent..Nice spacious room..I entered a bid for a premium room and pleased I did..lovely pool and great location
Check in although member of staff was lovely found it to be slow at peak check in time especially if you check in online not sure what the point of that is when you then have to check in anyway. Changing rooms of swimming pool were abit dated and need of upgrade but can't beat the value and would return.

Staff were accommodating. Nice welcome.
It had taken 1hr and 1/2 for food to be served, food ordered not as requested, wrong dish, starter burnt barefoot on toast, curry was runny and tasted like mushroom soup. Breakfast not appealing, we did not eat as sausages looked burnt and bacon looked dry, tinned mushrooms very small. Room had a unpleasant smell.

We had been given an upstairs room and I would not be able to use the stairs daily for the time we were there, the staff spent a lot of time finding a suitable room for us, difficult as the place was fully booked and lots of people had arrived,
The room was perfect.
Breakfast was lovely.
Pool was lovely.
All of the staff we came across in 4 nights there were exceptional, friendly, appeared genuinely relaxed and cheerful , nothing was too much trouble, the manager , house staff , catering staff , and people in the pool .
Everybody appeared to be totally happy and relaxed. It was a most pleasant place to spend 4 nights in.
We are not be able to find something we were not happy with and this has never happened to either of us before

Just about everyth we required for a short stay. We were attending an anual event at which we attended with our caravan. This year that was not an option. Tha hotel was a perfect alternative being near to the venu and offering services we would not have been able to access othwerwise. We will be back next year.
The room we used was OK given my wife's unfortunate condition but it was a little gloomy and short of natural light but OK for our short stay
