Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Public areas are very different and very interesting. Food good. Room v v dated windows v old chair filthy and threadbare. Mattress could be quite old Room was clean. Bathroom modern and great shower.
Ample parking. Beautiful reception. Room was however very outdated and only had 1 plug socket the other side of the room where the kettle was plugged in. Room had an old furniture smell and missing carpet. Dinner was very expensive but breakfast was okay.

Disliked: Staff & service
Very poorly explained what's in the package and when you ask a question, the employee answers you unwillingly and makes you look like an idiot.
In short: We went to the hotel because of the spa treatments and the employee, Joe, couldn't tell me what was included in the package and what wasn't, and the ADDITIONAL CHARGES.
There was a big misunderstanding as soon as we arrived to check in.
Be careful, as the staff try to do everything they can to make you pay more - whether it's for the spa treatment or the food.
The bedroom was okay, but too many dust in all amenities in the hotel.
The pool, jacuzzi and sauna was nice. The only thing genuinely good in this hotel.
Even so, I would never come back.

I like the quiet and private location as its relaxing .
I booked room with patio but there were just 2 chairs outside the window and very dirty place not even think to sit there. Not enough space for parking. Also charged extra for breakfast. Area on the surrounding was not that good. Not enough food places around area specifically halal
The bedroom had a small double bed not ideal when your partner is 6ft also bed. No window in the bedroom area and the window in the seqting area didnt open.
Bottle of drain cleaner left on the side jacuzzi for over an hour befote removed near childrens pool.
The double bed was very uncomfortable and hence we had a poor night's sleep as a result.
The double lock on the door did not work which limited the security feel of the room.
Look we stayed st this hotel when we got married which was 25 years ago. The hotel now feels tired and in need of a little tender love restoration. Sadly, such a beautiful building and setting however.

Nice hotel, good stay
I had an overnight stay while I was in the area for business. The hotel is very nice. My room was a good size for one, and had everything I needed.
The furniture is a little dated and shabby compared to the public areas of the hotel, but nothing to complain about.
The pool is a good size. The gym is quite small and I imagine quite uncomfortable if too many people were using it at the same time.
I did not have breakfast, but dinner in the bar was very nice.
