Fantastic Staff

The hotel was quiet though the leisure club was very busy. Despite this, the individual attention we received was second to none. A great staff in a very good hotel which I would definitely recommend.

Disappointed

It didnt feel like a hotel, more of a leisure club with rooms. Large carpark but very few available spaces with so many people going into the gym. Pool area was very busy so didnt get to try.

Disappointing hotel

Expensive room for what is a tiny space. Clean and good quality bedding but for the cost was disappointing in size. Hardly any room around the bed, no air con. The leisure facilities seem ok. It as it’s a full stream of members it’s just too busy for hotel guests. The restaurant is awful. Food was good but very limited menu and eating area is in a soulless bar, no ambiance. Expensive stay for what it is

Nice place

Everything is great here. The only issue we had was that the bathroom door has windows where you can literally see into the bathroom giving absolutely no privacy what so ever.

Would definitely stay again!

The food was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend having food whilst there. We never used the facilities whilst there unfortunately as we never had time but wish we did. Room was basic but very clean. Would definitely stay again, staff were incredibly helpful and friendly.
