    Wi-Fi is not very good in the room. Since I had to work online, I had to go to the bar so that I could have a good Wi-Fi signal.

    Wonderful spa.

    tv is in the completely wrong place in the bedroom so you can’t sit in bed and watch it :( corner light didn’t work either. dinner was also disappointing. I ordered a burger and for £19 it was overdone with no taste. When explained to the waitress, there was no reduction of bill or gesture. left paying the full bill and not very happy.

    friendly reception welcome, excellent Spa facilities, clean room, yummy breakfast.

    Vegetarian choices on the menu very limited. No provision or help was offered to provide overnight secure place for bicycles although there were areas and cupboards that could have been offered as available.

    Great facilities, the 18m swimming pool is impressive for a hotel and the bedroom very spacious, clean and comfortable.

    not being able to enter my room before 3pm. I had had a long journey & arrived 90 mins early only to be told I had to wait until 3 pm or pay £20. What? I’ve arrived early at many hotels & been allowed to enter room if it’s ready, & this one was but I couldn’t, I had to busy myself doing other things, not a good start to a break, poor review for an otherwise good hotel.

    very spacious & clean, with good food.

    I only had a small glass of sickly sweet reconstituted O.J. YUCK. As I only use lactose free milk I was pretty much stuck. The cooked offerings were not of interest so cereal had been my only option but no milk, ergo no breakfast.

    Night staff for checking in could have been better. Very noisy corridor, and room, with people coming and going at all hours. Needs a bit of revamp and modernising a little bit that's being a bit picky.

    Generally all good/ok

    The only downside was that I stepped on a nail that was left on the floor and the blinds in our room were broken so we couldn't open them fully.

    Our time here was amazing, from the room to the food, the facilities were great, staff very helpful and pleasant. I genuinely have no complaints, would definitely stay here again. Thanks to everyone my partner has the most amazing birthday, she was so happy and so was I. I can't thank everyone enough.
