Room looked tired and was in need of updating and shower floor needed a full re-grout. But the restaurant and bar area were lovely and the food was surprisingly good. Had to send my starter back, as despite declaring I was a coeliac 3 times, on booking, on entry to the restaurant and again on ordering, they still sent it out with normal bread on. Once highlighted though the staff were quick to send it back and it was re-made which was good. So often the offending item is simply removed, but I was happy they remade it. The staff were lovely too. And the food was surprisingly good. Yes the hotel is tired, we didn't use the spa so couldn't comment, but we had a lovely stay anyway.
Unfortunately did not use Spa or Have breakfast, on arrival room was made up as two single beds when I had booked a double, Shower cubicle could do with updating
Clean room, helpful staff and excellent breakfast buffet

Room was tired and in need of decorating. Staff were courteous and helpful.
Spa was very dark, hot and noisy and there were no beds to sit on or leave towels.
Tiny shower room , and it had black mould all round the base . Bedroom looked worn .
Holes in towels . Dining room chairs filthy and marked . Floor was very sticky at breakfast .
Staff seemed pleasant and friendly. Evening meal was reasonable. Overall poor value for money .

Conditioning. I nearly toasted Alice. One tiny fan. I cancelled .. romance wasn’t happening. The spa is in massive need of renovation- very poor.

Room had stains on the wall. The walls were very thin, one could hear nexts doors conversion and night time activities very clearly. Waitress at dinner was chewing gum whilst taking our order. Furniture felt grubby with lots of stains on them. In general the hotel felt it needed a good face lift. In the steam room lots of tiles missing.
The staff were really nice. And breakfast was delicious.

Hi firstly going into winter driving into the property there is not much lighting with early nights. I initially parked hy the gym, unloaded my bags and went into gym thinking it was the hotel. I thought just me being daft but there qere at least four others i saw do this also.
I would say the dining and drink options were satisfactory but would not say the service or staff was more than that. The food was enjoyable. However as a table of 1 to be charged a service charge of £5 on my bill did not sit well with me when the service i received was ok at best. What is the encluragement for the team yo go above and beyond and provide great service if theyve already got a service charge from me. Yes i know it states discretionary on the bill, however as im sure your aware most will not ask for it to be removed. For me it is the principal of it.
It was okay staff where lovely and very helpful the food was poor and the not taking cash was a nightmare as I only carry cash and there was no where to say that they don’t take cash the room was ok alright to sleep in n next door was very loud but the only issue I really had was the cobwebs and dirt on the walls apart from that it was a ok stay
