Staff were really friendly at check in. Room was beautiful and clean. The thing that let it down was the bathroom as it was an accessible bathroom which wasn’t asked for or required and made it difficult for me being 6’3 due to the low sink and shower/bath configuration. Have had accessible rooms before which were done a lot better. Tv didn’t work as it kept switching itself off

On check in there were 3 staff on the check in desk one was helping another customer one was playing on their phone and one was chatting. This ment checkin took longer than I could have. We confirmed that we had booked a twin room but when we got to the room it was a double (they corrected this via housekeeping). There was a toilet roll under the bed. And the booking for the swimming pool seemed strange as there were at time alot more people than there was supposed to be in it. The room was comfy and the brekfast was good. The staff were variable.

Lovely Hotel

Took our 10 year old granddaughter for her last visit before schools opened back .our room was large with a double sofa bed for her . The bar area was very nice. Breakfast was what we would expect and the food was nice and warm . It was raining on the Saturday night so we opted to stay in the hotel for our evening meal but have to say we were quite disappointed with the quality of the food. All the staff were really friendly and we would definitely stay again.

A great hotel

The lobby of the hotel was great, everything is on one floor so handy if you're disabled. None of those tiny flights of stairs. Swimming pool was fantastic. There's a great kids play room in the lobby which is handy if you want a drink and the kids to entertain themselves. The room was modern and comfortable. My only complaint is that in terms of window the whole room just had one tiny window but a pretty minor complaint. The bathroom was clean and comfortable with good hot water pressure. I would definitely come back.
