    The lift was shoogly and noisy - got a fright with the rattly noise so took the stairs mostly. The pool was a bit cloudy on the Wednesday evening but much clearer on the Friday morning.

    The staff were friendly, the room was spacious and the bed was comfy. The leisure staff were lovely, the pool was big and the food in the cocktail Bar was delicious. Had a great massage too.

    The only thing i did not like was that the carpets in hallways; in places the carpets were grimy and a little dirty. The times of the swimming pool were not open on one of the mornings which was the only time I had to swim! I fel it was an unfortunate coincidence.

    The breakfast was great. All of the evening meals good. The staff were exemplary-they moved me to another room as the initial kingsize was too big and i moved into a smaller more comfortable room.

    Felt property a bit tired in places Despite me saying on booking form that I was going to hospital. No one asked how I was. Twice locked out of room. Had to use mobile to call front desk. I had bkd 2 nights& then 1 night. Unfortunately I wasn't told about bedroom lock. Staff did respond quickly

    Staff very pleasant On my own but I had supper in lounge. Very tasty. A well humoured group were just leaving after a meal A lady at another table had the best laugh ever. She fairly cheered me up. Really enjoyed my 1st swim in a long time. Might be sn idea to wipe the green mould on the glass door Could be doing with the ceiling being painted

    The set up for the meal was really poor the restaurant was full so we were put In the cocktail bar but there were no seats for us, 2 empty tables but no chairs, we were then squeezed onto a tiny table and the staff were really poor at emptying the tables empty glasses and plates all over the tables!! Empty glasses all over the bar.

    Pool sauna and steam were good

    Property looks tired from the outside (main building needs painted and gutters fixed) rooms and bathrooms are dated. Restaurant feels like a dining hall not a proper restaurant.

    Lovely location. Great spacious room and bathroom. Lovely staff. Food was delicious.

    Rooms need upgrading, felt quite damp and the carpets and curtains looked worn and stained. Pillows were also uncomfortable so we bought some. Buffet breakfast doesn’t work, very disorganised kept waiting for milk, butter etc a good while after our tea and toast was served. Moreover the choices were limited as staff weren’t available to replenish due to lack of staff. The poor staff that were on were lovely but racing around trying to keep up with demand.

    Staff are friendly and accommodating, checkin is easy. Location is nice and out of the way of the busy town. Cleaning staff came in to check our room next day and were extremely friendly and once again accommodating. Pool facilities are really handy for families and is the main reason we are returning customers.

    Wouldn’t say was something we didn’t like, more of an observation, but the room was old fashioned and requires some TLC with decor etc, but was clean and had a comfortable bed. The pool changing rooms could require with some regular cleaning of floors etc with lots of people in and out of them.

    Our Hotel stay was value for money. Was a spacious room for the 4 of us, 2x adults, 10&12yr old. Staff were all friendly and helpful. The restaurant food for evening meal was nice and the breakfast was always stocked up with plenty food.

    The hotel is quite dated, and some areas need a bit of a refresh. The tv in our room had no signal. There were broken tiles in the bathroom. There were limited plug sockets that we could use due to the style of plug on lamps etc. The laisure facilities were good but the poolside toilet was in need of some attention. Overall a bit disappointed.

    Good location, enjoyed the use of the pool, steam room and sauna, the beds were comfortable and staff friendly.

    Bizarre plug socket layout in rooms. Why hotels haven't twigged that people charge their phone overnight on a bedside table is beyond me.
