Area was lovely outside peaceful. Great spa services. Staff polite. Room clean .loved the fact had a bath and shower separate. Water dispenser available on all floors. The pool area could do with a paint, as pipes looking bit rusty and ceiling peeling in areas. Would been nice to have a jacuzzi.

Well we couldn’t have asked for more, the lady on reception was a delight, the manager too. We had a lovely clean and spacious room with such a comfortable bed. Eating in the bar was a great experience, the food was stunning. The lady serving in the bar could not have been nicer, great recommendations and service. Relaxing pool and sauna. The perfect stay, thank you!

We found the hotel was just an average one. We failed to see how it could be regarded as 5 star by previous guests. On reflection we would have been better staying in a good Premier Inn or similar and visiting this hotel's spa facilities as a Day Guest. The spa, gym and swing side of this hotel were certainly above average.
