Gone down hill
Stayed here a few times in previous years but it’s certainly gone down hill. The room was basically falling apart! Wasn’t very clean and directly above the pool which made it EXTREMELY hot. No fan, windows don’t open and for some reason they had security EVERYWHERE. I think it is being used to house asylum seekers.

Bedroom great ,beds very comfy, staffs always helpful, very clean en suite,disappointed no food at lunch time and menu on the web site is not the menu in the hotel which states 2 courses for £18 and a good selection which was confirmed in a phone call but in reality the menu was only the usual staples.

Poor cleanliness
We turned up and checked in ok however on inspection of the room there was sick beside one of the beds it was wet with bits we complained to the lady on the front desk who said she would have it cleaned once we left for the evening. On our return the stain was still there and room smelled there was other stains including spaghetti stuck to the floor and bathroom was poorly cleaned stains everywhere which I ended up cleaning myself. On speaking to the member of staff on the desk Sunday I explained it still stinks and the mess is disgusting their response was ok I'll pass the message on to the cleaners for tomorrow which would be after we checked out so we made the decision to lcut our stay short by 24hours and head back to Scotland. I am so upset about our stay

Read the reviews before booking!
Additional cost for most thing including breakfast, swim, room service. I.e if you have paid for breakfast you will still need to paid extra for item to complete your breakfast. We had to be rescued from the lift as is broke down. The room was beyond warm, we didn’t sleep well at all. The room was a considerable walk with two children an bags and no lift as the children were too scared to use it after being trapped in it. We didn’t have a good stay and left without having a swim, a good nights sleep or breakfast due to additional costs.

Lovely historic building but the decor in some common areas is a bit drab.The hotel has a lot of weddings and other events and it was rather strange to have to go through at least two areas used by the wedding party to get to my room on the first night. The room itself was fine and the iron and kettle were appreciated but althouh soap was available in containers in the shower and by the basin there was none by the bath. Pillows were vary hard but a softer one was delivered promptly when I asked for one. Would return if I need to be in the area again.

The property did not match the description provided on Expedia. Contrary to the listing, the spa and pool are not complimentary, and there is an additional fee of £10, which is not justifiable given the overall cost of the booking. While the gym is spectacular and the restaurant has a nice ambiance, the food quality is below average. The rooms are spacious but could benefit from more thorough cleaning.

Staff were friendly and helpful and the service was good. Breakfast was nice and our evening meal there was also nice. The upkeep of the hotel in certain areas is poor and the spa looks unfinished. Also never been charged to enter the spa at a hotel where I am a resident before. There is no air con and some of our rooms were very warm.

Hotel is average, not value for the price
Stayed during the heatwave, rooms had no fan or air-conditioning so stay was quiet uncomfortable due to weather. The food quality was really poor. We had to go eat out the next day. Rooms were reasonably sized. Hotel is very average and the price isn't worth the services or amenities provided. We had to pay £10 each to use the pool.

A tired hotel in need of investment. Room was cold when arriving and heating system was a crappy wall heater. Sink plug had broken so water wouldn’t drain. Temperature on shower didn’t work so it was boiling. Stayed in room 406 or 407. Felt like the basement. Public areas are worn and depressing. Wouldn’t stay there again!
