Helpful people at reception and in the restaurant at breakfast (which was great) but got a stained bath towel and hard lumpy pillows. Children enjoyed the pool despite it being quite cold. Handy carpark right outside🙂

The hotel was nice, l Good, swimming pool and friendly staff mostly know what they’re doing. Problems would be the breakfast was not as hot as it could be fire alarm being set off at 9 o’clock at night, due to steam sensitivity in one of the rooms. No phones in rooms for calling reception and heating in rooms made it uncomfortable, even with the heating switched off.

We had a great stay at this property (family of 2 adults, 2 kids). Staff were friendly and helpful. Pool and its facilities were great, kids loved them! The gaming area in the lobby was also a big hit! Breakfast buffet was lovely - excellent selection of traditional English breakfast items, continental breakfast items, pancakes etc. We got a deal: adults eat for £12, kids eat free- superb value! Room was clean. Ideally two double beds would be preferred for a family room (rather than a double plus pull out sofa bed). But we put up with it for one night! Would recommend for a very good value stay, convenient location and great facilities for the family.
