Overnight stay with friends.
Stayed with a group for a craft weekend. Event room good after getting the heating sorted, we were sitting in coats and gloves! Need to have bin at refreshment station. Staff need to clear used crockery more often. Bedroom very comfortable although the bed is very firm. It’s has all been recently redecorated, has been done well. My hairdryer wasn’t working, reported it to staff. Some of our group were disturbed by other inconsiderate guests partying in their bedrooms. My only concern, the hotel part is not secure. The doors into the building have absolutely no security. Anyone can walk into the building. Drinks expensive £21 for a 175 and 250ml glasses of wine. No bar price list.

The room were clean, and nicely decorated. But the walls are thin and you can hear everything in neighbours rooms, woken up at midnight by neighbours passion. Breakfast buffet was adequate but nothing special. Service was similar, although staff seemed to be complaining alot, which is not great in front of customers. Evening meals were pretty good and reasonable vfm.

4/10 Fair

Feeling drained like my bath
Upon first glance the room seemed nice and clean, very spacious too, also The bathroom was nice and tidy. A few things started to turn up that wasn’t how I’d hope a room would be, listed below are what we experienced: 1. We started to run a bath, and once the bath water was shut off we noticed the water was starting to drain(even though the plug was pressed down). It would not stay full, it just kept draining. Upon closer inspection it appears the plug was missing some sort of washer to stop the water draining out. 2. The walls are super thin! Like crazy thin, I could hear the people next door as clear as day and I’m sure they could probably say the exact same about how thin the walls were. 3. The door to our room seemed to have a large gap between the door and the floor of the room. This was letting in a lot of light and also made me uncomfortable as you could easily fit a small hand under the gap. 4. The bed we were expecting to arrive to was a king size bed. However we had two single beds put together. Whilst this isn’t the end of the world, it was very uncomfortable and irritating as my wife kept finding herself slipping between the two. It’s a shame as upon pulling up I had high hopes as the surrounding grounds looked lovely and secluded. We just didn’t get much rest and unfortunately would not recommend a deluxe double room just down to the noise and the bed situation mostly.

A disappointing overall experience.
The hotel charged me for the stay. Thankfully I later realised that I had already paid through you and was able to get a refund! The room was lovely and clean. The aura treatments were great. Didn't use the pool because it didn't feel inviting, I was looking for calm and relaxed. Similarly the restaurant had loud pop/club music which was really off putting whilst trying to enjoy an evening meal & breakfast. I already have another stay booked but I won't be returning after that.

2/10 Poor

Easy access into your rooms
If you are a female solo traveller, I would say avoid this hotel. Not only was it covered in mould in the bathroom, with the toilet not properly cleaned, the vent clogged with dust, and the soap holder all grimy, but the main problem for me was that there was an unlocked pair of doors that opened into the next guest's room (giving some random person access to my room if they wanted it)!! So incredibly unsafe. Safe to say, I barely slept and was worried all night.

4/10 Fair

First up, the staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was fantastic (especially the chance to sit on the terrace to eat it). However, the actual room was appauling. Although clean, there was no air conditioning, so it was like a furnace. The walls and ceiling are paper thin, so it sounded like a herd of bufallo were upstairs, and due to the requirement to keep the windows open, it's extremely noisy. Also, the windows open straight onto the car park so choice between melting or choking on exhaust fumes. No instructions anywhere in the room regards things like strange lights that turned on when flicking switches, yet appeared to do nothing else. Broken bathroom fittings, and empty soap dispensers. Again, the staff were great, but next time will pay the little bit extra to stay at a holiday inn.
