We had a lovely stay, was upgraded to sea view due to there been a room available. It was a lovely spacious room, the Christmas decorations are beautiful this time of year. Nice bar area. Only thing i missed this year was the Christmas Coctails, they didnt seem to do any. I feel they were nice treat before. But otherwise we really enjoyed it all. Including the pool gym and sauna area. Thankyou

Room was cold told reception which they sorted it quick. Tv didn’t work NOT sorted. No toiletries shampoo shower gel nut got sorted as we went to reception and picked up. Over all not too good. Had an evening meal that was very disappointing, we were the last sitting at 19:00 and hardly any foood left just pickings. Told one of the girls serving that there was no custard for the little bit of crumble I’d found and she said sorry you’ll just have to have cream instead. Very very disappointed:(

The checkin could have been more informative and friendlier - it normally is. More advice could have been provided re the temporary parking restrictions outside and, in particular, help should have been provided as to how to get to our room, as the lift wasn't working. Fortunately a chambermaid was very helpful and showed us and another man to our rooms. Other than that the staff were extremely helpful as usual.

Smelly bathroom which made the whole room smell. Window was missing a latch so it wouldn’t shut meaning it was noisy and very cold. No shampoo shower gel or conditioner. No coffee sachets. Sticky dirty spoon left in the cup. Marks/stains on the walls and curtains. Reception staff in the morning didn’t seem too interested or surprised. Room 422a is terrible. The whole floor around that room is very cold. We were advised that evening they were very busy and had no other rooms.

The room was an ok size, as was the bathroom, however the beds (in a twin room) were not comfortable and the pillow was hard - so all in all it made for a not very good night's sleep. It would be helpful for each bed to have two pillows, which might have helped a bit.
