Great hotel in good location. pet friendly.
The hotel staff were kind and helpful. We paid extra to bring our dog. The dog was allowed in the bar area which was good as it meant we could have a drink as dog could not be left on her own in room. There was lots of parking including electric chargers. The parking was £10 for 24 hours. All in all a good stay and would recommend the hotel.

The hotel was nice , communal changing area for the gym and pool could have been cleaner, shower cream dispenser didn’t pump . The towel rail in the bedroom was unplugged so we had fresh towels everyday which wouldn’t have been necessary if the towel rail worked because I didn’t want to use a damp towel. Bed was comfy, room quiet, staff friendly. Would stay here again

Room was spacious and quiet. Breakfast buffet was good and plentiful. Gym was good and pool, spa and sauna was probably the best aspect. Overall it looked a little tired in places and felt like some areas could do with a deep clean.

Front desk staff need retraining
Positives - comfortable beds, hot shower, excellent breakfast staff, very welcoming and accommodating and helpful even over a very busy weekend. Negatives - hotel is getting quite tired looking, swimming pool changing rooms not clean and front desk staff overall rude and unhelpful. Check in experience really stressful and difficult. Overall, not worth the considerable cost.
