Room very basic. Could do with a refurb, hotel is looking tired. Food and service not acceptable. Gave me an upgrade to a premium plus room and based on my stay I’m glad I didn’t witness a basic room. Food is below standard. Very disappointing.

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!

Met by a 8 year old girl whose mum was working reception but was on lunch. Room was not ready for 3pm because they were full the night before. Otherwise ok

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.

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.

Lovely hotel, very clean and staff Lovely. Used the spa which was nice but noticed the ice room needs some TLC (Mosiac tiles everywhere) and the seating in one sauna was broke. Food was high quality and tasty. Pillows were so comfy and the room had high end ELEMIS Toiletries. Overall a great stay.
