Overall quite a disappointment. Same price paid via Expedia as hotel charges when booking direct, except spa/gym facilities not included in rate. It's hidden in the small print so you don't realise until they email you to ask you to pay an additional £15 per person. Feels a bit like a rip off. The room is quite dated, not well designed (no plug sockets next to the bed, huge empty space on one side of the room with all the other furniture pushed to the other side, poor lighting, and next to zero soundproofing. You can hear everything in the corridor and the adjacent rooms, including toilet noises. Can't turn off the fan in the bathroom so a constant hum. Not great for a light sleeper.) Everything just feels a bit cheap. Like every cost has been kept down - from the cheap plastic not soft close toilet seat to the single (overcooked) egg with a full English breakfast. Don't even think you could enjoy a nightcap - the bar closes at 11pm. Breakfast was alright but overcooked and, like everything else here, felt stingey. Portions kept to a minimum. In fairness the staff were great in accommodating my gluten allergy but the 6 or 7 emails and phone calls asking us to pre-book a time started to become a bit like harassment. Noted: when we got to the breakfast room it was half empty. Honestly? You'd be better off in a Premier Inn.

Good points: most staff we encountered were brilliant. Hotel generally was clean and tidy. Rooms were very much so. Fresh milk machine in the corridors rather than tiny long-life cartons. Not so good points: Excellent menu is really let down by the execution. Breakfast was stopped at 0915 which meant one of us missed it altogether despite having paid for it. The Spa area staff were extremely unattentive and waved me through with no towel or locker fob, meaning I had to head back to reception in my swimwear to get a fob (no towel). Both external Jacuzzi's were non-operational. Fresh milk machine was empty by early evening and not refilled prior to us leaving mid-morning the following day. Overall it was 'ok'. Not bad per se, but let down by some aspects that, given its location by the motorway, leave you with the impression it's sort of a slightly posh Premiere Inn with lofty aspirations. None of these things would be that bad if it wasn't for the premium price to stay there, the premium price for breakfast, and the very premium price for restaurant food given the result.

Good: family friendly, swimming pool, nice bathroom and White Company toiletries. Robes, Spa and changing rooms. Quiet, nice grounds. Breakfast. Good wine list. Good decor and impressive looking restaurant. Made for a great relaxing weekend for us as a family before kids are back at school. Could do better: reception greeting on arrival - was told booking via Expedia meant we couldn't use spa (totally incorrect). Staff were overall helpful but gave average service; I think this was lack of training rather than lack of care, eg checking on us, topping up drinks. Something for management to work on. Would have wanted more for the price it costs to eat there. Food too expensive. Could be a better lunch option as we didn't want to pay £18 for a sandwich and kids menu was the same for lunch and dinner which gave them less choice. Sunday lunch was poor - fatty cut of meat meant very little was able to be eaten. Would recommend for a weekend break but maybe seek other food options if you don't want to spend too much each meal time.

I recently stayed at your hotel from August 9th to 10th. I am writing to express my profound disappointment and shock at the unacceptable and neglectful service my partner and I experienced during our stay. Upon arrival, we were immediately confronted with a broken toilet seat in our room. The base was secure, but the lid was completely detached. We attempted to contact reception to address this issue, using both phones in the room, only to be met with six failed attempts due to non-functioning lines. This forced my partner to personally go to the reception desk—a situation that is not only highly inconvenient but also indicative of gross negligence in maintaining your facilities for incoming guests. Adding to our frustration, the television in our room was non-functional. After some effort, we managed to get it working, only to find that the screen was tinted blue, making it unwatchable. Within the first hour of our stay, we found ourselves with a broken toilet, phones that did not work, and a malfunctioning television. This is far below the standard of service one would expect from a hotel of your reputation. On the morning of Saturday, August 10th, we requested that the toilet be fixed immediately. We were assured by reception that maintenance would address the issue. However, after an hour, we had to leave the hotel without any resolution. Upon our return that evening, we found that the room had not been entered, and the toilet remained untouched.
