I visited the Willows Centre for a work conference. It is a fantastic business venue. High quality and a lovely environment. I stayed a nigh and the room was to a high standard and very quiet. I'd be very happy to visit when not for a work conference. There isn't anything I wasn't extremely happy with.

Excellent Value for Money

The room was spotless, very roomy and well set out, modern and airy, the bed was super comfy. The location is set away from any main roads and has a countryside feel, so no noise on a night to upset your sleep. Also you have free access to a well equipped gym and various eateries on site.

Nice enough and the staff are good but a bit overpriced. The food and especially drinks are extortionate- £6 for a 330ml bottle of lager!!
