    Having to pay extra for the spa facilities, most hotels have that included in the price.

    Free water and milk at the end of every corridor for teas and coffees. Rooms were very clean.

    The bathroom was a little dated, the pricing structure could include the use of the swimming pool (had to pay for it separately).

    Great location, good facilities, friendly staff.

    Quite a few people using the bar as an office. One even complained that we were interrupting his work!!

    Room well equipped and clean. Great to have fresh milk and a great selection of coffees and teas. Sam in the restaurant was extremely courteous and helpful. The first evening he put himself out to help us given one couple in our party had a dog. The food and service were great. The second night Sam was under a lot of stress with other problems in the restaurant and this did have some impact on our experience. He engaged with us over this in a very professional way and was a great example of how to relate to customers when issues arise.

    A quiet weekend away as a little treat

    We booked an afternoon tea for Mother’s Day and it was a bit of a let down. Hardly any sandwiches juts cakes. We actually had our food before our coffee which was very strange and several reminders to staff we had no drinks. I noticed other tables were the same. Not worth the £30 per person to be honest. Poor service for the afternoon tea.

    We loved the spa facilities and pool although a little steep £25 for a family to use, should be included in the price really. The room was clean and spacious and adequate facilities such as tea and coffee and a water machine just outside the room. Good parking and very close to a small shopping village and other restaurants.

    Comfortable and enjoyable stay with baby

    The room heating was centrally controlled and as during one of the night the room got very cold our baby caught a cold. The bed provided for babies was more of a cot than a crib, so quite small for our months old baby. We had to bring in a separate bed for my husband and the baby slept with me on the bed. It would have also been a great add on if there were family friendly changing rooms at the pool area so mams ans dads can change babies together, it s quite a task to do it alone.

    Great ease for baby/family short stay. The access to the pool and spa was easy. Really chilled environment for babies and children. Everything needed was easy to find or get. Friendly staff! Beautiful surroundings! Close to a supermarket!

    The breakfast to the room did not arrive on time and we had to chase. When it finally arrived 40 minutes late it was practically cold. The issue was addressed by the staff in a positive way, full refund, which I was impressed with.

    The room was very good, lovely four poster bed, very clean. Had complimentary bath robes which was cool. Excellent bathroom and shower, powerful. Staff refunded an issue we had with the breakfast which was decent of them to acknowledge and do something about.
