Evening meals in restaurant were tasty and a good selection of options. Bonus for me was that they did small portions of many of the meals. Service for Evening meals and breakfast was excellent with staff friendly. Bedrooms were large and clean but very warm! It made it difficult to sleep because of it despite keeping bedroom window wide open all the time. Main area and pool were well kept . Stairs and corridors carpets were tired and stained looking but overall was very pleasantly surprised and would happily stay there again :)

The leisure facilities were great, the room was spacious and the bar was good. The rest was a bit average unfortunately The running water was brown, the wallpaper was coming off the walls, some staff members were smoking directly below our window which, on a very warm evening, we needed to keep our windows open so the room stunk of cigarettes for a while The staff were friendly and helpful

Comfortable but tired

We stayed for a couple of nights whilst visiting family in the area. We felt that the hotel was comfortable, but in need of significant modernising. Our room was feeling very tired , with dated and scuffed furnishings . The walls were also very thin leading to disturbed sleep thanks to some amerous neighbours! The leisure facilities are a real bonus, with a good pool, steam room, sauna and jacuzzi. The staff both in the hotel and at the pool were profesional and friendly throughout our stay

Had a fab time staff are all lovely. Room was clean with a comfy bed loads of tea and coffee in rooms and nice biscuits.Fire alarm went off a few times after coming out the shower but staff were at door within seconds to make sure we were ok must be very sensative alarm. The breakfast was amazing with great choice hot and fresh plenty selection hot or continental. Dinner was amazing and liked you could get half portions of some of the main meals. The bar staff were lovely and friendly. The pool area with hot tub sauna and steam room was fab and again all staff were friendly and helpful even got to join the aqua gym class which was great and all free when staying at hotel as guest. Me and my husband will defo be back to stay in the near future.
