Ok

The interior decor was weathered - grubby carpets and decor needed refresh. The mini fridge in the room didn’t work and we had to ask twice for a replacement. The corridors always had room service trays laying around awaiting collection for hours. We ordered a £12 dessert platter for 2 upon arrival and received a tiny plate of finger nibbles!

The hotel is in a lovely setting and our room was clean and very spacious. Reception staff could have been more friendly and helpful, information wasn't volunteered and they tried to avoid eye contact when anyone approached the desk to ask something. Spa treatments were good with a nice relaxation space but the pool had children's swimming lessons both days we were there so not a place to relax. Restaurant was very disappointing so we avoided after the first evening meal and breakfast. We were told that there was only a buffet available for £35 when we arrived at the restaurant, an expensive fish and chips, we certainly didn't want 3 courses but we're not given a choice. It is a captive market and after a long drive we did not want to venture out again so had little choice. Staff were scarce and slow in taking our drinks order and to clear plates between courses but many members of waiting staff appeared out of nowhere to sing Happy Birthday to someone at another table. We also soon discovered that others in the restaurant were able to order a la carte which we would have much preferred. The jerk chicken was nice but not served with rice and peas. Rest of the food was average. We walked to the Bull pub in Meriden the next day and the food and staff there were excellent.

A nice visit in great surroundings, but with venue inside now looking a bit dated. Staff collecting plates/crockery/cutlery a matter of seconds after finishing breakfast was not great .. and happened 3-4 times. Not ideal in what is meant to be a quality venue.

Beautiful grounds

Lovely hotel although could do with a little tlc in places, pool was too cold for us but other than that steam room & sauna were fantastic. Restaurant menu was pricey but the 3 course buffet option was fantastic offer at £35pp. Would love to return as perfect place to stay when visiting the bp pulse live/nec, took under 15 mins to get back from show

Excellent apart from Fire alarm!

Friendly staff and allowed us to check in 45 mins earlier. Pool was very nice and service was excellent . One really big downfall was the smoke alarm was triggered so all guest had to be evacuated out of the building at 4.am in the morning! With kids this was very difficult. Had to wait outside for nearly an hour till all was clear. We had no explanation from the hotel. I would appreciate something in return.

Beautiful hotel!

A lovely hotel! Full of charm and set in a gorgeous location. Having the resident cat made it even more special! The spa was a great feature, but the showers needed a little TLC as they were a bit smelly! Would stay again, can’t wait to come back!
