    It’s quite dated, the food wasn’t amazing, but adequate.

    Our family room was spacious. The staff were excellent, and very attentive especially for my daughter who has coeliac disease, they catered for her very well.

    Disappointed that after booking a time slot of 8.30 a.m. we were told that we had to leave the table by 9.15 a.m, so felt rushed especially as it was busy, but people who were already eating were still there when we left.

    The breakfast was very comprehensive with choices to suit everybody. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. Plenty of parking.

    Room a little dated, no USB sockets, sprung mattress that clunked when you moved. And my pet hate a shower curtain over a bath. Other than that the room was clean, quiet, and I enjoyed a good night sleep

    Great reception, bar, and dining facilities.

    The breakfast was fabulous, the staff were probably the friendliest, most welcoming of anywhere I've ever stayed. They also loaned us an umbrella when we forgot ours. We were travelling for a funeral, rather than a holiday, so we didn't make use of all of the facilities (eg we weren't heading to the bar / in the pool much) but it was the best value for money I could find in the area, and for that price the fact there is a health centre and breakfast included was really brilliant value.

    Very relaxing 2-night stay

    vertical ladders into pool - I much prefer gradual steps into the water with hand rails, much safer in my opinion, some Holiday Inns have them, some don't, with the variation in ages of guests and members I happen to think this is important, hopefully some of the hotels with the old style ladders will upgrade them in time.

    Very nice room, really comfy bed, relaxed ambiance of the hotel, cheerful and helpful staff in all areas, modern decor, pool and fitness complex, excellent breakfast, food/drinks available all day (24 hours I think!), car park, and outside seating/eating areas for when weather nice!

    The accommodation corridors and rooms are very tired, the bathroom fittings also could really do with a refurb (the water pressure was so much that the kids struggled to have a shower - it hurt). The shower curtain clings to your body as you shower, which is very unpleasant. The poached eggs at breakfast were rock hard, and the meats all undercooked. So for £12 I had toast and a hard egg which wasn't great value for money.

    The foyer is modern and has the wow factor, and the receptionists were superb; exceptionally professional and friendly, nothing was too much to ask. So an excellent welcome. The breakfast was delicious although I steered away from most of the main cooked breakfast as sausages and bacon were quite underdone. The waitress was happy to sort some poached eggs which was a lovely option to have available. Everything was very clean, which made for a pleasant stay. Also unlike other 'family" hotel rooms where every bed is squashed in, we had a lovely amount of space which made for a much more relaxing stay and sleep! As a family we loved having the swimming pool available for use. It made the stay extra special :)
