Nice Hotel

Lovely room, not so nice view of some kind of plant room, couldn't have window open because of the noise from it, lovely breakfast, plenty of choice and hot. Thought the £20 changed for using pool excessive, so didn't use it. Would stay again

Overnight stop after business function

I was working at a function at the hotel in the evening so booked a room with finishing late. Check in was efficient with welcoming staff and a gift. Room was spacious and clean although lack of bedside power points would have been better. Good nights sleep in comfortable bed. Great buffet breakfast in the morning and although hotel was fairly busy staff kept topping up food.

Solid Eggs

The rooms were nice, and the bed was comfortable, but the spa was disappointing. Towels were scattered all over the floor, and there was nowhere to sit or lie down, despite being told that time slots were in place to manage the number of guests. Breakfast was also underwhelming—the eggs were hard as if they had been sitting out for hours, the sausage was tough to cut, and the bacon fat was unrendered.

Wouldn’t stay again

It was ok. I stayed here about 15 years ago and remember it being fabulous. This is the main reason I chose it again. Now, it seems run down and a little bit shabby. The rooms were very noisy with people coming in after a night out in the middle of the night. The shower was broken and there was no shampoo in the dispenser. There was also 2 water bottles in the bin.

Mehhh

Stayed for 2 nights, humming for both nights from the aircon machine that even after trying to turn off the noise persisted from vents above the door. Evening meal both nights were lovely. Very disappointed in the second mornings breakfast. I think they charge £16 for breakfast… Mushrooms, hashbrowns, egg were cold, sausage was slightly warm still and beans were hot. When I asked for 2 poached eggs I was told they’ve been done and are on under the heat lamp. Anyone who’s ever done a poached egg may know if you want a runny egg that’s not what you’ll get leaving them under a heat lamp. Check out I was never asked how my stay was as the lady was too busy telling another member of staff what to do
