"Room very clean, staff very helpful as we had our mums wake there. Lovely lady on the front desk, and a lovely lad in the bar and restaurant named Jaydon I think. Breakfast very good, lots of choices. Surrounding gardens and area lovely walks and Leeds castle very special. Only thing is letting it down is the carpets are very dirty going up to the rooms, the changing rooms near the swimming pool, really in need of an update, part of the ceiling looks like its coming down over the pool area, they need a swimsuit spinner too, to bring it up to 20th century, I feel that the whole building just needs a lot of TLC"
