Expected better to be honest. Room was quite dated. Bedside lamp missing. Old, poor quality TV. The double bed was actually 2 singles pushed together. Have stayed in much nicer hotels for much less money

This is the best Clayton Hotel we have stayed in and we have stayed in a few now. Breakfast 5/5 Room spaciousness 5/5 Staff friendliness 5/5, Emma on reception is outstanding Cleanliness and room cleaning 1/5. This is the only issue with this hotel. Housekeeping is abysmal. Will stay here again though as the rest of the stay was perfect.

Generally good. Convenient location, helpful staff, nice pool. The bathroom needs an uplift however - lots of black mould on the silicon around the shower detracts from an otherwise clean and comfortable room.

Hotel itself & stay beautiful. We ordered a meal at the bar we booked in for 8.30 the 4 of us my husbands fish and chips came an hour after our main meal was eaten. It was a disgrace. We talked to the manager who gave us a tree drink. We should never have been charged for the meal being an hour late ruined our night unfortunately.

The hotel is conveniently located in the middle of town and the facilities, including a pool, sauna and steam, are more than adequate. The choice at breakfast was really good and we also had an evening meal in the restaurant which was delicious. The staff were friendly and polite. The only downside was the bed as the mattress was not great and so I didn't get a good night's sleep. The lack of support in the mattress meant we were constantly rolling into the middle of the bed. It's a shame because otherwise I'd heartily recommend the hotel.
