Only stayed as a stopover when picking up a new car from Birmingham, so didn’t get a chance to use any of the leisure facilities etc, but pre-booked half-board which was a 3 course evening meal (a fair choice of options, and to a good standard), and breakfast in the morning. Breakfast was very good, with a wide choice of good quality options. The room was nicely appointed and clean. Overall booking the half-board package, I felt was good value for money and I would stay there again.

From our warm and helpful welcome by Abhal on arrival to his smiling farewell, we enjoyed our stay. Our room was fine with a walk in shower. Very clean and comfortable. An extra chair was provided without fuss, though it would have been nice to have a fridge. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. We enjoyed our meals and also the Leisure Club. Would certainly recommed to friends

The staff are very friendly and courteous. The room was very good. I had breakfast at the restaurant, the pancake machine is fantastic. I didn’t have an evening meal there, so I cannot comment. But when I’m next in the area, I’ll make sure to stay here.

Don't accept amex and they insist on taking a reserve amount plus £50 for damages in check in. Ludicrous. Room was quite nice. Breakfast was good. Dinner menu was too pricey. So some good some bad. But on balance the hotel is OK

Dated rooms, in need of a refresh. Very thin walls meant little sleep due to noisy neighbours
