Lovely room
Lovely large room with super king size bed. Comfy chairs and table. Lighting could be improved as no main ceiling light. Tv kept going off after about 30 minutes which was frustrating.

There was a rip in the duvet cover when this was mentioned granted the cover was changed but the cover that was taken off was thrown onto the chair in the room and was still there when we got back to our room later that night .we have stayed at this hotel every year when horse of the year show is on for quite a while and found this to be a let down as past experiences have been great .

So much potential
Our stay was a chance for 3 friends to meet up from across the UK. We don't ask for much, just nice coffee with somewhere comfy to sit and drink it and chat. A nice pool to relax by and spaces to chill out. A comfy room to rest in and recouporate. Sadly it wasny quite any of these things. There are no comfy sofas in the cafe area and the coffee was machine made. The pool was very dated and only 1 lounger so no where to relax and enjoy the spa facilities. There was a room upstairs in the treatment area however this cold and not very comfortable and only accessable when you book treatmens. The treatments were really lovely and this was the highlight. Breakfast was really good too, so much choice. Again the coffee was machine made so not very nice but the food was good. The rooms were dated and the beds not the most comfortable. We all woke with a headache that wasnt down to drinking! The hotel has so much potential and some small changes would make all the difference. I believe the hotel is being bought out which explains the feeling of the hotel being neglected.

The hotel wasn’t signposted very well but it was great service from the gate onwards. Large, clean room with all the amenities and friendly, helpful staff. Looks popular with golfers. I would definitely stay again.

One To Avoid
The dining area was very noisy due to the willy waving by the mail golfers, as they were not with there wives. The fire alarm went off and although there were fire exits in the dining area the procedure was to guide guest through to reception area and out the front door. Cold water in the morning so the early morning shower was a bit bracing. Paintwork looks tired. Although the rooms booked should of been the same they were not. Take you hiking boots, wheel chair or Zimmer frame with you as it is a large hotel and the higher numbered rooms involve a long walk
