Reception was professional, property maintenance is bad for a four star hotel. Cleanliness of room not great. Spa facilities dirty, smelly, broken down spa bath,sauna. Very old decor and lockers in spa facility area. Would not recommend for spa day. Food over priced and they add 10 percent on top. 10 pound a day for parking for guests...Why. Breakfast should be included. Lack of milk, coffee in room. Comfy bed , good telly.

Nice clean room. Huge bathroom. Breakfast was very good, buffet style with good choices to suit everybody. Was not able to get tea and cake, although full afternoon tea could be booked in advance. Very loud wedding party kept us awake until midnight so thankful we weren't travelling with young kids. Friendly staff, good location. Would come here again

Lovely spacious room with extra lounge area. The tv in the lounge area had no remote control so we didn’t use it. It was a bit soulless- a couple more pictures on the big empty wall would’ve cheered it up a bit. I preferred the seating area in the main bedroom- much nicer space. Can’t believe there was no long mirror anywhere in the suite! Plenty of room for one! Also iron and ironing board would’ve been handy.

Good hotel overall, good value for money. Staff was helpful and quick to address any request (there was a whatsapp chat for any query). The spa facilities were the highlight of my stay! The room was confortable, however the room and some of the premises had a bit of a dated feel. Noisy at night with music due to wedding reception and garden area was not clean in the morning. Breakfast was a buffet, it was basic and used low quality ingredients, I didn’t enjoy it much but I guess you get what you pay for.
