I returned for graduation at the university campus and was recignised and given a very warm welcome. All my guests and i had a thoroughly enjoyable stay, clean rooms, well stocked tea and coffee with water fountains close by. Great to easily charge my EV, at a very reasonable cost. Breakfast catered for all of our various dietary requirements.

A great stay

The first room we stayed in was much too hot and that was without any heating on. The staff were very helpful and moved us to a different room and this was much better. We were there at the weekend so the place was very quiet and we had the pool completely to ourselves. My husband enjoyed using the complimentary coffee machine in the lounge. Overall we had a great stay.

Excellent hotel service

The site is a management training facility that also offers a hotel service. We had a nice en suite room that contained all the essentials you would expect at a hotel. The breakfast service is superb.
