We have stayed here many times as it is very dog friendly and enjoy the area for a wander. Things i did not enjoy this time - the window was faulty and the room initially was cold as it was left open and would not close. Toiletries are meagre and not the best quality. The room was noisy and could hear movement constantly above, from all sides and the hallway, rooms next to us. Nescafe coffee is not the best for room facilities nor is ONE bottle of water, 2 small biscuits. Parking used to be free and they were sneaky about the ‘new’ charges and i was not informed ONCE until i was already paying for it. The spa facilities were still appreciated and of a good standard and i would go back for this overall but may try a few other hotels next time to compare instead of our usual straight back to this one every time we visit.

Not as good as first time we stayed

We had stayed before and really enjoyed the room facilities hence visiting again. This time we had a room which was meant to be deluxe but was tired and needed updating, the carpet was worn and marked, the bedding looked dull and the bathroom needed to be replaced. Not the best buffet breakfast. We visited the spa but the mens changing rooms were out of service and struggled as we did not have 2 x £1 coins for the lockers. The spa facilities and changing rooms felt quite dated and we found it hard to get any staff attention.

A nice mid range hotel in a good location.

Well positioned hotel. Clean, cozy and serviceable although rooms a little tired and had a lingering odour of tobacco from the past. Main areas have been nicely updated. Leisure facilities were nice and breakfast had a good selection of hot and cold food.
