Hotel information

The heated indoor pool offers relaxation after your excursions or a hard day's shopping in the town centre. It is approximately one metre deep, so doesn’t require you to be an Olympic swimmer to stay afloat. Early birds can swim from 07:00 through to 19:00.

Unfortunately, due to the age of the hotel, not all the rooms in the hotel are accessible by wheelchair (yet!), but there are ramps to the restaurant and a lift from the front entrance to reception and the first floor. Once in reception, you have easy access to the Cabaret Bar, which has disabled toilet facilities, and the pool area – please note that there are no hoist facilities or a ramp into the pool itself. Parts of the garden are accessible by wheelchair.

If you have any mobility problems, it would be helpful if you inform the hotel at the time of booking before rooms are allocated.

For business events, the hotel provides a high-quality large-screen projector, (free for use), Wi-Fi internet and a PA system. The hotel can also tailor-make a conferencing package for you, including accommodation and hospitality service.

The main function room can accommodate up to 150 people, whilst downstairs there is a large pub-style function room, complete with stage, bar and dance floor, that can hold 120 people.

Food & beverage

Star Cabaret Bar:
First-class entertainment awaits you most evenings. Regulars include Peter Baffles, a comedic magician, vocalists Jonathon Marks and Nigel Lee, Anita Kinglsey and Moonraker, both comedy/vocals, to help you dance the nights away. All of entertainment is always free to guests.

The Avenue Bar:
The more intimate Avenue Bar has its own dance floor and comfortable lounge style seating. This is where the very popular Rock n Roll and Soul nights are held.

The chef prides himself on offering a wide range of mouthwatering dishes using local produce where he can. His specialties are fish, which is always offered as one of the daily choices, and home-made soups.

During the day, sandwiches are available from reception.

If you have any special dietary requirements, please inform the hotel at the time of booking so they can make suitable arrangements.
