The hotel looks very stylish and great it’s seconds from the wildlife park. We had a room facing the courtyard which was lovely. There was plenty to do and shops on site. We had the twin room with a travel cot and the space was enough. It’s very modern clean and tidy inside. Ot had a modern look and for the price felt like a bit of luxury. I love the Ben and pillows I’ve never had such a great night sleep in a hotel and I travel for work our grandson slept well In the travel cot and a plus we were advised to bring our own mattress for it. TV was great as it had Netflix cable so we could log into our own account. Hot drink supplies were provided as well as a fridge. Seriously couldn’t fault the room, hotel or facilities. We opted for the buffet breakfast and so glad we did as it was delicious with a vast range of breakfasts products for anyone. Would highly recommend staying at this hotel.

Great experience

Great hotel and great experience. It was lovely waking up looking at the animals first thing in the morning with no other visitors around the park. The check-in process was nice and simple and the room was great for my family.

Wonderful memories made! Exceptional staff!

As a family, we don’t get to stay out in hotels often as my husband has been in poor health. From the minute we arrived and you’re at our whole day we were made to feel welcome and very well looked after. Our hotel room was beautiful and well laid out for accessible needs as well as bunkbeds for two little girls. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. There was a little issue with something and it was sorted very quickly and with great care. Manon, at the reception desk was especially helpful and professional. She helped me feel calm and confident when staying there with my family. Every effort was made to help us feel comfortable. I would highly recommend it to young families as well as couples or groups where someone is needing extra access to bathrooms or facilities. The hotel as well as the Safari park, I have seemed to have thought through these necessary essentials well. I would also recommend both the restaurants on site. Both the food and the exceptionally friendly service made us stay so wonderful and easy. The waitress we had at the Evolution restaurant, Suzanne went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and at ease. We stayed for two nights and nothing seemed a problem. We would definitely go back!

I stayed in a family room with suite room (204). The lay out was fab as had a sectioned off area where the kids slept. The rooms were clean, modern with tv, fridge, kettle, hairdreyer, gorgeous bathroom. It had lovely windows over looking some of the park which my child loved. It’s situated 2 min walk from Park and Hex complex has shops and restaurants and a mini golf. I didn’t use it but there is a kitchen on the floor we stayed on with microwave, fridge and other amenities , fab idea. We visited the Wildlife park next day which was just a beautiful place to walk around and the animals had so much space their enclosures were huge. It had play areas too. We spent just over 5 hours there. All enjoyed the stay.
