Poor

Hotel and staff were okay. Staff was friendly and welcoming but not enough of them. Hotel room was very dark, shower was leaking and TV wasn’t working. Hotel restaurant advertised the buffet menu for lunch or dinner but when we asked about it they said that it’s closed. Swimming pool was okay but very dirty changing rooms with mud on the floor. Nobody seemed bothered about general cleanliness in the changing rooms. Life quards were great though and children pool was good for very little ones. Everything including breakfast, dinner, pool has to be booked in advance with the time slots which we weren’t aware of. Our room was connected to another room which had another family in and we were up for the most of the night because their child was upset. It’s not really idea of having relaxing break. Staff in the hotel was friendly but generally uniterested, the whole place is lacking some customer service and some parts of the hotel need refurbishment and appear very runned down. We would not be coming back anytime soon, it’s just not worth it.

Short stay on a work trip. It is very relaxing and welcoming. Safari themed rooms add to the relaxing atmosphere. A place to visit with the kids and family. Ample free parking, the restaurants serve tasty meals. Mostly buffet breakfast however a few times it has been table d'hote.

Friendly professional staff

There was a mix up with my booking on arrival, staff were very apologetic and got it sorted quickly and upgraded me due to the inconvenience. Staff were very professional and friendly. Food in restaurant was really good too. Only issue really was room had ab adjoining door and the person in the other room was niosy, those doors arnt well sound proofed.

Always a good experience

Service is always great here - the waitress remembered me from my last stay, several months ago! Lovely lady, always friendly and very helpful. The greeter is always lovely too - very chatty when you enter the restaurant. Breakfast is a bit cheap but it's included, so very good value and there's a reasonable amount of variety and it's fresh. Rooms are very spacious, clean and tidy. Always a good experience

Great businesses trip

This was my third trip to this hotel in as mNt weeks, Love staying here as everything is first class, rooms are well serviced everyday, friendly staff, and an excellent restaurant. Only one negative - used the leisure facilities for the first time this trip. Decided to have a steam in the street room, there was definitely a fault, despite being sat as far away as possible from the steam generator, both by lower legs are burnt from the intense head, the water on the floor was so hot it was painful to even walk across the floor. Only really noticed the burns next day when showering.
