Parking was nightmare. Had to park in the dark, muddy, wet car park and walk to the reception getting covered in mud. Went for a drink in the bar and the girl who didnt speak very good english had the personality of a dead fish. Then when we tried to sleep the room was boiling and the windows didn't open so had an awful nights sleep. Breakfast took ages and we had to watch a group be sat, served and fed before ours turned up. Won't be back but it wasn't a bad hotel.

Nice hotel but could be so much more.
The hotel needed a good coat of paint inside and out and our bathroom definitely needed upgrading. It took the restaurant staff 25 minutes to take our ordrr in the evening even though there was only a handful of guests in there.

The hotel was very clean and the room was lovely. The extras I had paid for were in place which was appreciated and my request for a garden room with a door also appreciated. Our disappointments were in the bar, the beer on tap is not cold at all. This was pointed out to the staff evening one but was still the same evening two. You don't sell crisps either which I thought was strange. Ordered room service by mobile as phone didn't work in the room, waited 40 mins then my partner went to ask, order wasn't on. This was rectified and came soon after but was seriously over fried. We were not charged room service charge. Breakfast service was extremely slow and Sunday took nearly an hour. Ratio of staff seemed ample to deal with the amount of covers just lack of organisation. We were not acknowledged for some time. Buffet was very slow to be replenished and took several guests to ask repeatedly. Saturday order was taken and took 25 mins for coffee and toast plus one ask. Really not good. Fire alarm went off three times, twice in the night and once at 9.30am I am not complaining about this as at least it works, perhaps the fact everyone was tired because of this, breakfast could have been more on point and up to scratch. Spa area was lovely again spotless and the staff lovely. Miss opportunity to upsell to us, no idea if any availability for treatments during our stay but we could have been pursuaded if it was offered. Last min avaliablity cards under the bedroom door works a treat

Lovely stay. The building is a little dated in parts. The service was a little lacking at times, it felt like a lot of the staff members were new and inexperienced. We had breakfast and a bar snack and all the food was excellent.

We booked a Superior Deluxe Room. Our room #119 was spacious. The only negative on this room was the carpet, which needed a good cleaning. We dined in the hotel restaurant and had breakfast in the hotel. Our meals were very good. We did like that the hotel was dog friendly, even in the restaurants.

3 star hotel in reality - very tired
Had 2 superior rooms both of which were very tired with marks etc and not 4* in standard, no a/c either. The corridors were also showing signs of being worn out. Spa area was the same and cushions all marked. Breakfast needs to be pre-booked for time slots and complimentary free hot options are limited. £5 supplement charge for a full English. Venue also hosts a lot of wedding so be prepared for that. Overall I’d say the hotel is 3 star in reality
Corridor to rooms with steep stairs and window ledge dirty with dead bugs

Bar area was nice and comfortable, well furnished. Very poorly run hotel, rude staff at breakfast and in the bar. No draught beer available due to issues. No lift for people on the top floor nor help with luggage. Room was comfortable but in need of painting, tv didn’t work. Plug in the sink was stuck down. Hallway carpets dirty. Disappointed with the place.

Overall good experience spoilt by food order not reaching the kitchen leading to a 40 minute Waite till I raised concern. Offers a refund in cash. Called back at the room by the management to be informed that due to T&Cs I would have to return the cash and accept a card refund. No a good experience. This was the 3rd food order not to be received over 3 stays.

Relaxing Stay
Staff were friendly and efficient. Food was tasty and well presented. Enough variety at breakfast to please all. The bedroom was well presented but had a couple of niggles like 1 bedside lamp didn't work....but it was replaced and a dressing gown was grubby looking so didnt wear it. When this was mentioned to reception they apologised and said they would have replaced it. So they cannot be fairer than that. A nice ambience surrounds the hotel. We will return.

Relaxing, near city, park and ride, and zoo
This was my second visit to this hotel, it is so relaxing and quiet being a short distance from the main road but in countryside. The staff are warm and friendly, the food I had in the bar area after a day at the zoo was delicious, as was the breakfast the following morning. I found the options that were included in the price ( a good continental selection and various choices such as bacon with preferred cooking of eggs) more than sufficient, there are further items eg full English for a supplement. The spa is nice with large swimming pool, sauna , steam room and surrounded by plenty of cushioned egg chairs and beds. I had a massage and hour or so after breakfast, it was divine. I finished my stay with a walk around the stunning gardens - the weather was sunny, the lawn and woodland areas would be a little boggy after more than the re entrance rain so take suitable footwear for this. Only a couple of minus points- although my room was gorgeous as was the garden view from it, it was ground floor and had patio doors opening out to a table and chairs outside- it isn't private, anyone outside could see straight into it, the path goes past it and a dog walker strolled by ( residents I should add, as dogs are allowed). So you need to keep the curtains closed for privacy. The other I mentioned after my first visit, namely that the whirlpool in the spa is an extension of the pool hence the water isn't warmer, not a major factor but one some might be disappointed with. Will return.
