Staff were very nice.
Leisure facilities were very good
Restaurant....evening meal was delicious
Breakfast was excellent
Only criticism was that the shower in the room needs attention. The grout and tiles were black with ingrained mould. Though i think it was essentially clean, it just didnt look nice

The place is great, rooms are clean and comfortable, staff are friendly, shower is good & hot, bed is comfortable, food in the Waterside restaurant was beautiful.
Internet/Wifi is garbage. It was useless!
I was here for work so needed internet access and ended up having to go stand in the car park to even make a phone call.
Loved the place but won't go back again.
Owners need to invest in a higher bandwidth package.

Good room and restaurant. Wifi is very spotty and drops. Dont plan to have meetings and us the wifi.
The room was clean, modern, and comfortable. The shower was excellent, and really appreciated the heated towel rack. We also had a pleasant experience at the bar, and the breakfast was very good—especially as they were able to accommodate my gluten-free requirements.
The only downside was that the corridors felt a bit outdated, and noise carried quite easily. We could hear activity from both the hallway and the neighbouring room.
When we arrived we booked a table in the restaurant for 7.45, we checked in to our room and it was filthy, carpet was dirty and full of stains, skirting boards hadn’t seen a cloth for a long time, room was cold as the heating controls were not working, we asked for a portable heater but Wes told none on site, bathroom was very tired and in desperate need of a re furb, we arrived at the restaurant for 7.45 as booked only to be told that it wasn’t 7.45 but 8.30 the booking had been made for. When we returned back to the room we were so cold we had to get under the bed cover with our clothes on, really not happy I called reception to complain and within 10 minutes a portable heater arrived and we also requested an additional duvet which we had. This is our second visit at this hotel but unfortunately will not be staying again and will not be recommending it either. This hotel in my opinion should have no more than a two star rating and certainly not the four star that it advertise.
We had a wonderful stay from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome throughout our visit. We especially enjoyed the indoor pool, which was a great bonus. In the evening, we dined at the waterfront restaurant opposite the hotel and the food was absolutely delicious.
Our room was spotless and comfortable, with great blackout blinds and an exceptionally comfy bed that ensured a perfect night’s sleep. We woke refreshed and enjoyed the included buffet breakfast, which offered a wide variety of tasty food and drinks.
Overall, we had a brilliant experience and would happily return again in the future. Highly recommended!
A great stay, great facilities, the room was comfortable but looking a little tired. The restaurant was very good. The staff were fantastic, very friendly and helpful. We will definitely plan to stay here again.
Highly overpriced especially with only swimming pool access to the spa, rooms really need updating and general maintenance. Simple additions like slow closing doors so they don't slam and soundproofing the noise from adjacent rooms, as they are very easy to hear. A good clean too there were marks on the walls, kettle and hair in the bath.
