The waiting staff seemed a little disorganised, we were not able to eat in the restaurant on the Saturday night - and were not told this when we booked the weekend.

Staying for Christmas, I was impressed with the way the hotel was decorated, especially the gingerbread scene and real Christmas Tree in Reception area. The spa facilities are excellent, as are the staff. Also very impressed with the service from the staff in general, which was very quick, polite and helpful. My daughter (N. Reeves) was disappointed with the size of their suite given that they had a 14-month old child. The standard of food was very good indeed, although I've never had Christmas Dinner without bread sauce and the sprouts were like bullets! An excellent hotel with a relaxed and friendly manner, which thankfully genuinely welcomes children. We hope to stay again but with a larger suite!

The Spa facilities were lovely. The more senior member of staff on reception who sorted out a room change and treatments in the spa was very friendly, professional and helpful and more than made up for our initial treatment at reception. I did not feel that the Initial Classic room we were put in was of the standard I expected.

It's location and facilities also good décor. When my booking was lost, the lack of pro-activity of the staff to find me two alternative rooms was very very disappointing even though I showed them my booking confirmation.

Enjoyed the gym and swimming pool and steam/sauna areas. The breakfast was very good - one of the best breakfast's I have had in many years - the black pudding was delicious! The staff were all very helpful and friendly while still giving a professional service. Overall a very relaxing stay. There was nothing I didn't like about my stay!

I liked the spa, I thought the massage I had was lovely. Breakfast was nice as well. I was shocked to see people older than me, 35+ guzzling beer and downing champagne in the public pool area, they took up the whole space leaving no room for me and my boyfriend to relax. For an executive room I would have expected a little bit of food/drink other than water in the fridge. The reception staff were friendly but one lady was quite abrupt when I had a few questions to ask. The holes on the golf course were very poorly signposted so everyone kept playing the wrong holes! Plus was hugely congested on the saturday. I won't be returning.

Very little The staff were of little assistance. You would expect taht if teh checking out time is 12 o'clock then the (suite - on 3 of them) rooms should be ready by 2pm! The receptionist was particularily unhelpful, we had a meeting at 3pm and managed to get into the suite at 2.45pm. The advise would make checking out at 11am and give the cleaning staff time to prepare the rooms. We were one of amny couples waiting for rooms.

Spa and lesiure centre is excellent, good equipment, spotlessly maintained. Rooms are acceptable 4 star standard. Staff and service levels are poor, getting attention at the (empty) bar was difficult. Restaurant staff were intrusive, even while we were still in the bar, to the point of ignorance. Overall we felt the service levels could do with major improvement. Restaurant food was acceptable, but not at all memorable.

“We booked up at the The Crab for our anniversary, and wow! Lovely location, staff very friendly and helpful, the theamed room we stayed in (Bird Island) was very clean, the bed was really comfy, then when you open the curtains you see the patio with the hot tub! The restaurant was very romantically light which was nice and the food was amazing, they even do a dessert to share with a little bit of everything if you can't make up your mind what to have. Would we stay there again? Yes ” Mark, Aldershot |
