Liked: Cleanliness

Still a decent hotel, but much poorer than it used to be under Marriott. Food is perfectly acceptable, but nothing special and way more expensive than the Belfry which is a far superior hotel at a similar price You’ll have a perfectly acceptable stay, but there are better hotels in the area at a similar price or less

Good value, but very tired

It was a very good value stay, however, the hotel is very tired. The rooms don't have sockets by the beds, for example, except for the one used already for the lamp. The restaurant is also very expensive. However, as i say, the room was not expensive and included access to the pool so we had a nice one night stay with the kids. Staff were all very pleasant as welll.

Disliked: Amenities

The property itself is well kept, clean and welcoming. Rooms were lovely and comfortable, bathrooms were clean and towels nice. Breakfast was amazing with lots of choices. The only down fall is that the spa and pool really need an upgrade. There were towels left in the changing rooms, hair on the walls and floors and it just felt grimey.

Great looking venue but......

Its a few years since we last used this hotel and the reasons we found alternative hotels for the last few years soon became apparent. Food is poor both in quality and choice with service in the restaurant slightly better than this but still not great. Breakfast is very poor value unless you want a full cooked breakfast with all the trimmings, £18.50!!! I should have challenged that one for a bowl of cereal and a pastry that had seen better days. Rooms are fine and staff on the whole helpful but the bar was tired and in need of updating as are most of the communal areas. What was once an impressive hotel is now a shadow of its former self. Beautiful setting but we wont be returning in a hurry,

Not bad but wont go again

Hotel room was ok but cold at night. Restaurant called Fairway is a rip off. Extremely expensive. I had a small chicken with oven chips which cost £30. Chicken had almost no meat on it. My colleague had a lamb burger and paid £24.00. Substandard portions with average quality whichis poor value for money Would i stay here again, no.

Reasonable stay. Excellent customer service.

The staff are fantastic, very welcoming and helpful. A problem with my in room safe was resolved quickly. 2 errors on my bill were correctly immediately. I was disappointed with breakfast. My room service breakfast on my first night was cold. Day 2 I went to the restaurant hoping for better. Again disappointing. Everything was cold, not warm, cold. The quality of the cooked breakfast was very poor. Cheapest sausages and undercooked back bacon. I’d recommend packing an extension lead. I had one available plug socket for everything. No charging point next to the bed.

One of the dirtiest hotel rooms I've been in for a while. We told front desk and they did nothing. Rooms had no water and were dated. Restaurant was overpriced. Pool was good, but Jacuzzis were out of order. Just overall felt really rundown and not cared for
