Stayed in this hotel in various rooms over the course of about 2 weeks. The hotel is nice enough, although rooms are dated and lacking in total cleanliness. As I had other things on, didn't have the energy to complain but at one point noticed pieces of chocolate under the desk. Another issue is there are hardly any plug points in the rooms and none by the bed to charge a phone, etc. The biggest problem is with service at the various touch points - all the staff are lovely and do the best job they can but seem to be hamstring by a management team that often leaves them having to be out of position. Most of the time, the bars are left unattended, that is even if they open at the time they say they will, and during evening service, there is no way a bartender from the Gallery Bar should be making but also serving drinks to patrons in the restaurant. Unfair on the staff. Overall, if you get a cheap rate and don't expect the world, you'll be fine.

You should be made aware at the time of booking that kids are not allowed to use the pool for the majority of the day. We arrived early to use the pool and couldn't. We would of also liked to use it in the morning before we left but couldn't with the kids not being allowed in. Also everybody that arrived for check in was told to come back just after 3 without checking if their room was ready, this just created a big crowd in reception and massive queue at 3pm which could of mainly been avoided.

Check in was slow due to only one person being in the desk at 3pm - check in time; not helped by guests from a wedding pushing in front and their pals allowing it. Overall good rooms, nice location, might suggest a bit of bleach on the bathroom grouting and a free biscuit on the tea tray wouldn’t have gone a miss either.

Night away
Unfortunately in my room the shower tray was filling up with water due to slow draining. The sink was slow draining and the toilet has very little flush. All three issues were raised at reception. The evening meal was excellent and enjoyed the circuits class offered at the gym. Overall reasonable stay but the rooms need modernising

Good location and facilities
WE WERE IN A 20 MINUTE QUEUE TO GET TO RECEPTION. RECEPTIONISTS SEEMED TO BE DOING THINGS OTHER THAN CHECKING PEOPLE IN (POSSIBLY BOOKING EXCURSIONS AND SUCHLIKE). When eventually we were checked in, we were told that he room was not yet ready (in spite of the time being nearly 17:00 hrs. In consequence, we were kept waiting for another extended period. However, once all this was done, our room was excellent and very comfortable. The food offering at Dinner and Breckfast was very good.

Generally ok just need to train some of the staff
the part of the hotel where we stayed was a bit tired however it was nice. There seemed to be a shortage of staff when we arrived at the reception we had to wait as one receptionist was busy and the other was looking on her computer I feel she should have put her head up and said be with you in a mo, but she ignored us. The chap that finally helped us was very good. Latter that evening we went for a drink in the bar,my husband went to the bar to order a drink and the girl said she would be over to take our order at the table we waited a good ten minutes and she went past us a few times and never took our order and just ignored us. Someone from the restaurant came past and we finally asked one of them and was served. We eat in the restaurant and the staff in there where very efficient and served us well we enjoyed the food

Amenities Good food questionable
Check in great, staff polite. Room spacious, parking free and ample,close to many things. Gym small but selection of free weights and machines, Pool (Ok) not great for lengths as its small and if a few people want to swim e.g. 3 you don't have room. Sauna and steam room working great. Food: Questionable ? Breakfast usually cold ❄ I came at 7 am and was the first to arrive, not very warm, I came at 7.30 am still not quite warm. I ate my tea (7pm ish) at the bar and the selection was not great and a round £25 still not great quality. my review: Hotel great , amenities good. Eat somewhere else.

Some areas to improve but good
Check in was set for 14:00 but on arrival one of our party had to wait until almost 15:00 and his room still wasn’t ready. He asked reception about this so reception then switched his room. WiFi is not acceptable, completely unusable and totally open, if someone wanted to snoop here they would have a field day. The facilities and location however are fantastic, gym was good and food was even better.

Good EV charging on site. Pool could have done with a clean. Food options ok,but expensive for what it was. 3rd fold out bed uncomfortable for 15yr old, who slept on the sofa instead perhaps a sofabed would have been a better alternative.
