The executive room was worth the extra for the rainforest shower. Parking near the room was very convenient. The Carvery was excellent

Michael, United Kingdom

Lovely staff and a very clean and tidy hotel with plenty of parking, food was good although a 20% surcharge for room service cost us more than the food, so a little high for my liking.

The hotel was not too great for my disabled husband, lots of steps and a non covered walk from the hotel to the dining room in another building. We also had to physically move a bedside table to access the wardrobe, a small point but furniture moving wasn't in our plans.
The staff were absolutely excellent. The hotel was very clean. Breakfast was excellent too!

- • Stayed 1 night
Scrambled eggs so sloppy I had to ask for firmer ones to be made. Bar area furniture looks tired. Others sleeping in their seats in bar area. Bathroom was so tiny. I had to leave the door open when sitting on the loo! Set of 4 steps down to the bedroom area from the bathroom/main door. Constant traffic in the corridor outside my door. Led from Rooms to Main Catering area. Someone kept trying the door! Miserable staff. A smile has no cost.
The facility itself is nice. An attractive building.

Staff in the restaurant were not very attentive. Long wait times to try and get their attention for the bill or another drink. Breakfast wasn't the best choice - not cooked fresh done from a buffet but didn't look too appetising. I had scrambled eggs the first day and they were so runny they were inedible and I like runny eggs usually! Although there other options on the menu the staff never asked if we wanted these and just said "help yourself" I didn't realise there were other options until the second day when I read the menu but by then it was too late!
Sky TV was a bonus! Rooms were clean and comfortable. Bar staff were great!
