This staycation was brilliant. The check in service at the front desk was excellent. I enjoyed the pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. The only thing that spoilt it for me was the attitude of one of the staff at breakfast. We provided our room details and were shown to the buffet. I started helping myself the same staff who had been at the restaurant entrance along with her colleague, came asked me my room details. It wasn’t that she asked that was the problem, it was how she asked; I felt like I was being accused and that really bothered me, as if I would just waltz in from the street and start helping myself to the buffet. I wasn’t happy with that.

Avoid unless it is free

It isnt cheap and i dont think you get any value for your money. The food in the restaurant is good and the chef is the only highlight. Staff are slow and you wait a long time. The bar is like a low key pub. The property is in need of repair, roof tiles missing, windows are desperately needing painting. The inside of most of the hotel has been clad with that horrible plastic and made to look modern unfortunately it doesnt and most the plastic is dented and poorly fitted. In the room the colours are drab and the bathrooms are also covered in the plastic tile affect rubbish. Our shower head was flopping around on a broken bracket and the wall fixings were hanging off. Also on the second night of staying the shower drain was dry and a fould sewege stench came up into the room for hours. I had the leave the shower trickling to keep the drain filled so no back draft into the room. On notifying the staff they didnt care and gave me a slip with an email on it and told me to basically tell someone who cares. For the money i spent they dont deserve a review of any positivity. Avoid room 405. The pool is ok though.

Ok for 1 night

Ample parking. Beautiful reception. Room was however very outdated and only had 1 plug socket the other side of the room where the kettle was plugged in. Room had an old furniture smell and missing carpet. Dinner was very expensive but breakfast was okay.

Disliked: Staff & service
Very poorly explained what's in the package and when you ask a question, the employee answers you unwillingly and makes you look like an idiot. In short: We went to the hotel because of the spa treatments and the employee, Joe, couldn't tell me what was included in the package and what wasn't, and the ADDITIONAL CHARGES. There was a big misunderstanding as soon as we arrived to check in. Be careful, as the staff try to do everything they can to make you pay more - whether it's for the spa treatment or the food. The bedroom was okay, but too many dust in all amenities in the hotel. The pool, jacuzzi and sauna was nice. The only thing genuinely good in this hotel. Even so, I would never come back.
