Room (52) was in poor condition. Shower was sporadic and unusable. This was due to leisure facilities according to staff. Room was fairly clean but in dire need of basic refurbishment. Bed was comfortable enough. Tv was not working originally and no coffee available which I had to go to reception to remedy both issues Food at restaurant was decent and I’d say decent value. Staff were friendly however durning dinner period all the waitress were just stood around chatting amongst themselves and we had to go up and prompt them to offer us a drink. Then after that we had to go up and prompt them again to take our food order.. breakfast was a decent standard with no complaints. Swimming pool and gym facilities were decent and a good effort was made with the hallowe’en decorations. Location is good. Unfortunately I would not wish to stay here again due to the basic needs of a hotel room not being met.

Evening meals in restaurant were tasty and a good selection of options. Bonus for me was that they did small portions of many of the meals. Service for Evening meals and breakfast was excellent with staff friendly. Bedrooms were large and clean but very warm! It made it difficult to sleep because of it despite keeping bedroom window wide open all the time. Main area and pool were well kept . Stairs and corridors carpets were tired and stained looking but overall was very pleasantly surprised and would happily stay there again :)

This hotel needs a renovation. Almost everywhere you can see major wear and tear. Room had a chair with a torn seat and the carpet was worn out. Key card stopped working daily. There is no elevator so climbing and descending stairs is required with your luggage. Hallway smelled of cigarette smoke.

Comfortable but tired

We stayed for a couple of nights whilst visiting family in the area. We felt that the hotel was comfortable, but in need of significant modernising. Our room was feeling very tired , with dated and scuffed furnishings . The walls were also very thin leading to disturbed sleep thanks to some amerous neighbours! The leisure facilities are a real bonus, with a good pool, steam room, sauna and jacuzzi. The staff both in the hotel and at the pool were profesional and friendly throughout our stay

Disappointed

There were no elevators which wouldn’t have been a problem, except we had to go through lots of hallways and down several flights of stairs with our luggage. One of our rooms had lots of spiders in it. Breakfast was served a little late so we weren’t able to eat anything before we needed to get back on the road; there wasn’t even any fruit or coffee/tea set out so people could grab stuff on the go.

The leisure facilities were great, the room was spacious and the bar was good. The rest was a bit average unfortunately The running water was brown, the wallpaper was coming off the walls, some staff members were smoking directly below our window which, on a very warm evening, we needed to keep our windows open so the room stunk of cigarettes for a while The staff were friendly and helpful

Ok but needs an upgrade

Have stayed here a few times before. We came for our anniversary but unfortunately wasn’t impressed this time. Our room was nice enough and comfy bed. There was 2 coffee cups with coffee & tea but no teaspoons to stir it. There also was no hand soap, shower gel etc or anything at all to wash your hands with in the bathroom which I found pretty poor. The spa is ok, pool is nice but it’s very tired looking and needs a good upgrade tbh. Steamroom was like sitting in a cupboard.

Had a fab time staff are all lovely. Room was clean with a comfy bed loads of tea and coffee in rooms and nice biscuits.Fire alarm went off a few times after coming out the shower but staff were at door within seconds to make sure we were ok must be very sensative alarm. The breakfast was amazing with great choice hot and fresh plenty selection hot or continental. Dinner was amazing and liked you could get half portions of some of the main meals. The bar staff were lovely and friendly. The pool area with hot tub sauna and steam room was fab and again all staff were friendly and helpful even got to join the aqua gym class which was great and all free when staying at hotel as guest. Me and my husband will defo be back to stay in the near future.
