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

Positives: The staff were excellent, very helpful and polite. The hotel is managed well and very clean. Plenty of parking (including electric charging stations) on site and secure gated access to enter the country club. We had some issues in the room which were resolved very promptly. The breakfast was great and many varied options. Negatives: The rooms are in dire need of refurbishment. The bedroom and bathroom are very dated. The fridge in the room was very small.

We stayed at the hotel as we had an early morning flight from Birmingham Airport. It was ideal, a 10 minute drive away. The room was lovely comfy bed and pillows, quality products in the immaculate bathroom. As it was pouring down we ate in the sports bar, nice meal. Can't fault the stay for a reasonable price.
