    Exorbitant charges to use leisure facilities/ spa. No biscuits!!! Horrible little old fashioned plastic milk containers. Poor quality tea bags. Only one chair in the room. Not a great choice in the restaurant and it did smell a bit of old oil. Quite expensive for the level of cuisine. Entrance area bleak.

    Bright spacious rooms. Well stocked bathrooms including face flannels. Comfortable beds Pleasant outlook Nice staff

    I would have expected that we would be able to use the pool at the cost of the room. we paid 597 and were told we would have to pay to use the pool and sauna. Not great!

    It was a lovely stay for the Easter break, lovely food and the staff were friendly.

    Could have done with more little touches in the room and a redo of the bathroom which was ok but could have easily felt more luxurious

    This visit the cleaning standard was below par. We found food packets behind the curtains from previous guests. The daily “clean” was literally a throw bed sheets back over the bed and empty the bin. The used cups were left and not replaced with clean ones. 3 dirty towels were replaced with only 2 clean ones each day - so we had to chase up another one every morning. Simple things but disappointing as the rest of the stay was good.

    Location is great Balcony with view of the pitch is nice Staff are very friendly Breakfast has a good choice

    Supply of coffee and milk sachets not consistent. After one room service we were left with only one milk and coffee segments not refilled. For only liquid soap to be provided seems a tad mean. Why not solid soap in the bathroom?

    Staff in bar and restaurant first class.

    That i had to come home!

    At first a lot of noise from the room next to me, but this was resolved by moving me to another room, the room what I was moved to was peaceful and perfect, this was all thanks to the service of the lady ( I did not catch her name) but her service to me and helping me with any issues or questions was perfect, the service was top notch and for this reason I would definitely come back and recommended. Good service is a priority so well done to the lady and making my stay more pleasant. Food was excellent and especially the big English breakfast was more than enough, the room was quiet and warm and overlooking the cricket pitch.

    Bathroom wasn't cleaned well, old dust and dirt in the shower and on shower screen. No mini bar. You can't access the spa without prior booking. Spa access was fully booked for the morning of our stay. To access the swimming pool you need to pay. First time ever I came across Hilton hotel that charges guests to access a hotel swimming pool. It's understandable to pay for treatments and other extras but pool should be included in the room rate.

    Location was good, comfortable beds and good bedding.

    The only problem I had is considering the hotel is located at a sports venue in the way of a cricket stadium. Non of the bars showed any live sports of any type. I had to go to the other hotel across the roundabout.

    Everything.

    No small table in room 139 and no teaspoons. As it was a good sized room it would have been useful to have two occasional chairs as well as the desk chair in the room.

    Booking in was very well handed by a young lady and the young man who waited on our table in the restaurant in the evening was also very helpful and pleasant.
