Spa was excellent, breakfast always delicious, dinners were also delicious, and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Only trouble I had was the drain in the shower of my room didn't quite drain correctly....leading it to spill into the bathroom floor. Otherwise, fantastic stay! It was my third time staying here, and I'd 100% stay again!

A Great Weekend Away

We booked room only as we were going to a 40th birthday party in town with friends who also booked rooms. Everything went well from checking in to the cleanliness of all our rooms and the friendliness of all the staff. We will definitely plan another visit again and maybe next time try the spa facilities.

Terrible room and bathroom. Over priced.

We were put in a room where the toilet was nearly impossible to sit on as it was so close to the wall and it had a toilet roll holder poking out, the bathroom lights did not work and there were people walking around upstairs at 2am being very noisy, we had probably the worst view out of our window too. Wouldn’t stay here again in that room, not worth the money we paid at all.
