We had a really comfortable stay in a very spacious room which included 2 double beds and 2 large reclining chairs and still had room for furniture, closet space was good and bathroom layout was suitable but could be freshened up. Facilities were really good we used the pool and sauna etc whilst there, changing rooms were clean and spacious. We ate breakfast the choice was phenomenal something for everyone, the pancake making machine is a fun addition for the BIG kids 😂😂😂. Was a very relaxed and fun weekend away overall was a really great first time experience. Staff were very friendly and accommodating was also very well priced for standard.

Staff at check in were courteous and helpfull. Room was clean but lacked some of the amenities you would expect from a 4 star hotel. No fridge or water. Slippers were advertised as part of the room but were not provided. Having to request room upkeep on the previous day was a strange idea. Also we were very surprised at having to pay extra for parking, which was not mentioned in the booking page.

Always good, BUT just a few things cropping up in the restaurant 1. The fish and chips (which my colleague had) was very disappointing. The fish was very thin/small. It looked like it came from a packet from the supermarket freezer - same size 2. The breakfast coffee is shocking. Serving pre-brewed coffee in a pump thermos flask, is old school. Surely, in 2026, decent coffee should be available the supermarket
