Staff were excellent, from check-in to check-out they were brilliant. Derek was amazing and was a real credit to the hotel. He was so attentive to everyone he came into contact with and is brilliant with both children and adults, he certainly has a real way with people. Fahd, the head-chef was really friendly and positive. It was nice to see both enjoying what they do and it showed! Great location for Harry Potter studios.

Service was very good. Easy to get dinner at restaurant, didn't have to book. Quick service. Room was all good. Bathroom could have been a bit cleaner as there were hairs on the bath. Breakfast good apart from the bowls and plates being dirty, had to go through quite a few in the stack to get clean ones. Would stay again. Parking great and friendly staff.
