Check in staff really nice, pool staff evening and morning different people and both more like door bouncers than customer service providers. If they don't want kids in the pool being kids don't let kids in at all, but don't spend the time shouting and making issues for them. Rooms in the new part of the hotel were the thinest walls of any hotel ever stayed in. Loud music being played on 1 side from 530am and on the other what can only have been the other half of the party. Add the circus in town and the bus stop under the window made for 2 hours sleep all night, for an 8 year old and their dad. Bed sheet also had rip in it exposing the mattress so lay on top. Bad time had all round. Hotel main areas nice though and plenty of parking

Lovely stay, excellent customer service great facilities. Went to the bar bought 2 coctails 2 for 10 great selection of drinks. Friendly staff. Room was clean cant fault the cleanliness had been upgraded to a family room spacious 2 double beds. Could do with some TLC but doesnt effect your stay at all.

Travelled with partner
Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
We used the hotel as a base whilst having to unfortunately arrange and attend a funeral. We opted for a larger room to enable my partner to also work whilst we were there.The desk in the room was broken and the chair was ripped and shabby. We were informed that housekeeping would not be attending during our stay unless we requested it. Fair enough. However housekeeping interrupted my partner whilst working more than once and when I turned them away, they insisted I gave them a time that was convenient that morning. I explained that he was `working via teams but the housekeeper seemed annoyed by this. On another occasion, housekeeping entered our room when we weren't there and left a passive aggressive note stating they could not service the room as there were personal belongings (coats) on the bed. Towels and bedding were left dumped on the sofa and dirty bedding that did not belong to us was crumpled on the bed. No surfaces had been wiped or the room vacuumed. The hotel was noisy and at one point the manager had to remove some guests who were arguing and fighting in their room and the corridor. The entrance to the hotel was littered with cigarette ends and ash even though there was a designated smoking area. Guest were congregating there from the bar to smoke. All in all, if you want a relaxing peaceful stay, I wouldn't bother!

Relaxing

All staff, ( reception, spa, housemaids) were excellent. Room was clean but found the pillows too hard and uncomfortable and the room was a bit noisy being at the back above the kitchen. Teaspoons would be handy for making cups of tea instead of sticks !

Decent stay

Just stayed for one night and was gutted to miss the pool - it closes at 7:30pm so beware when booking! But managed to go early before I left in the morning. Good sauna and spa all abit tired in looking but still enjoyable experience and definitely recommend to others
