Lovely hotel, spa treatments and food were good but several things let it down - spa facilities are just a small pool, sauna and steam room. - dinner is a £25 allowamce per person which only just covers a main or part of a starter as well (if lucky). Had a pasta dish amd included a chicken breast for additional £5 but the chicken was non existent and portion size smaller compared to another guest who chose not to have the extra chicken. -paid extra for a super exec but shower didnt drain away very quickly and curtains hanging off. Only 3 pods for coffee machine when there were 2 of us in the room. All in all very poor value for money!

Very restful break.
A friend and I stayed for 2 nights. We simply wanted a break. We went to the pool, steam room and sauna. When we arrived the door to our room was open and could not be shut. The lady at reception resolved this immediately by giving us a different room.

There is no way this is 4*. Threadbare carpet in the bar, pub menu food, corridors and rooms need updating, trays of food not picked up, the pool area looked like a bomb had gone off with cups, towels and discarded spa slippers laying around. The reception area is very nice, but it's lipstick pn a pig. 3* at best!

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.
