    Good housekeeping standards and excellent staff. Spoiled by urgent need of refurbishment.

    • Deluxe Double or Twin Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The tone was set by the entrance gates and pillars which had plainly not been decorated in a long while. The front door was kicked and chipped and in dire need of a coat of paint with dirty brass handles and finger plates. It was so uninviting that we nearly walked away and found somewhere else to stay. The whole hotel had a run-down feel to it, carpets stained and rucked (looked as though they had been soaked at some point), paintwork very tired. The furniture was slightly dirty and worn. The bathroom was somewhat inadequate with an over bath shower in a narrow and difficult to access bath. The shower controls were miles away from the shower head. All the fittings creaked ominously as though they might leave their positions without warning.

    Staff were efficient, friendly without overdoing it! Room was spacious and had once been well decorated. The room was spotless from a housekeeping point of view and the bed was comfortable. Everything worked properly. Breakfast (our only meal) was delicious, speedily attended to and generous. Grounds were spacious and well tended.

    A great hotel with lovely gardens and facilities. Highly recommended for families

    Evening meal service was very slow and we felt forgotten despite asking staff. Many people came after us and were served a meal before us. We had two hungry and tired children so we weren't happy waiting over an hour for food. If we come back we won't use the restaurant again.

    Great location and grounds. We always play chess on the giant chessboard with the children, and we make use of the pool for a fee. Breakfast is good. Last time we stayed we had a very large bathroom so were a bit disappointed that the bathrooms are not all the same, but the bedroom was spacious and comfortable for 2 adults and 2 children.

    Spar charge of £20:00 per person, bit of a shock when you’re not told when booking at a spar break hotel (£197:00)all we wanted was to use was the swimming pool, Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna for three hours, my local spar hotel would have been a better deal, not impressed.😕🙁

    Some parts in need of some tlc. The spa area is separate building and not included in price. Room was hot but of open the window had loud music playing from function room to early hours.

    Nice grounds and room was nice. Bed was comfy. Food was yum.

    Had problem with aircon/heating which couldn’t be resolved during our stay Breakfast was mainly buffet style and cooked food was old and warm. With limited numbers would be better and less wasteful to cook to order. Also breakfast staff didn’t pay enough attention to other foods etc running out and needing refills

    Nicely furnished. Decent size room. Nice gardens
