Good

Although this is a clean and comfortable Hotel, it is let down by the Leisure facilities it offers
If you are booking based on having access to a gym and pool, then think again.
The pool is verry small as are the changing rooms
The changing toom is more like a coubord, and there is no dry floor anywhere, so you have to go back to your room bate foot.
The rooms were lovely. Very spacious and comfortable. Didnt eat in hotel so cannot comment on food. Staff very friendly.
Would have been 5 stars but very loud music from wedding marquee in middld of hotel till midnight. After long day andcearlh start next day would havd been nice to have been able to sleep a bit earlier bug theh did stop dead on midnight. Extra charge to use pool too as run seperately.
Lovely hotel very clean and friendly staff
Rooms good size very comfortable beds
Only thing it would be nice if the pool was included in you stay rather than being chargeable

We had stayed here previously and had booked it as it is close to haydock race course and to use the pool and jacuzzi. Booked 8 rooms for two nights and planned on everyone using the pool and Jacuzzi like we did last time, only to be told it is £10 per person! We spent close to £2000 on the rooms, drinks at the bar was on-top of this and then told you have to pay to have a swim is not what we expected at all. We were all extremely disappointed and have never had to pay here or elsewhere before. Out of principle we chose not to pay.
The rooms need some TLC. Two had leaked due to the rain.
The hotel was full but waiting for breakfast items was not great 10-15 minutes for eggs. Then no sausages. Then no bacon. They should have been prepared for this.
Room keycards would stop working randomly.
On the plus side the staff were great. Especially at reception. A special mention to Sophia who was so helpful before we arrived confirming changes that were made via Expedia, which was not easy(Expedia’s fault).
We had planned on staying here in the future but I’m not sure anymore.
Attended local horse racing on the weekend. Walked to the course. Parking at the hotel was easy and plentiful. Room was great. Restaurant was convenient and food was good.
Stayed here to go to Race course staff are amazing. Rooms looking a bit tired and could do with upgrading.

Nice enough hotel, restaurant was decent and food was good.
SPA facilities are paid extra which I just do not understand for hotel guests. £10 for a day pass and you'd be disappointed if you paid that. I ended up walking to Holiday Inn to use their facilities in the end.

Great staff but room was like a sauna
My room was crazy hot, with no air con and the window was screwed shut so didn't open at all. It was so hot in there I felt a bit dizzy. The staff were super nice and offered to switch rooms or give me a fan so no issues I guess it was just an older room that hadn't been upgraded.
Martha on reception was really helpful and welcoming when checking us in/out.
Parking included with stay, breakfast was worth booking and hood quality.
Great location & grounds
Poor experience, tried to give me two single beds pushed together as a double with a massive gap in the middle. The ladies at reception were helpful and after about 30minutes found me another room. This room was dated, dusty and I had to take the kettle to reception as it looked like somebody had tried to cook something inside it, it looked and smelt vile. I was bought another kettle that was burnt with massive black marks inside. I didn't have the energy to complain again Room 157!!! For £97 I expect far better.....I would rather sleep in my car if there was a next time.....
