A great and friendly oasis

I arrived late by arrangement and had a little difficulty finding the place at 1 am. The night manager was brilliant and welcoming - a trait I’ve encountered both times I’ve checked in late. Room amazing, spotless and comfortable with brew facilities. Well done all!

Nice hotel, shame about the food options

Pleasant hotel, rooms are comfortable and the staff are very helpful when asked but won’t engage otherwise. self check-in takes ages, so I would advise doing online prior to arriving if possible. Food in the hotel is burger, pizza, hot dog and salads, so if you are over 18, then you’re probably going to eat out which means driving or going to the neighbouring hotel

Was moved to lower standard property Willows Training Centre due to low occupancy at Woodlands Event Centre, so didn't get to actually stay here. Weren't going to reimburse difference in room rate, but gave me upgraded room when I complained. Staff all friendly, obviously trying hard to be eco friendly.

An ok overnight stay nothing special

What a really weird resort, not helped by the baron landscape. The Waterfront restaurant was nice, but such a shame that tbe lake has 2 massive electricity pylons going across it. The Woodlands event centre seemed to be being run by some very young staff. They were very kind and helpful but lacked knowledge and leadership. I would give it a 7 out of 10. Not enough food or staff at breakfast.

The Event Centre was not open when we arrived. It took a while to find out that we had been transferred to the Waterfront Hotel. It would have been helpful to have been informed of this change in advance. That being said, delightful staff on reception, lovely room, great to have access to 1Life included.

As described in a rural setting. Surprised at calm modern interior- very welcoming- thou the reception area could be improved. Pete the gentleman upon our arrival close to midnight was wonderful. the room it was very clean - as were the corridors when you walked through. Only minus was we didn’t have AC in the room, thou they’re thoughtful enough to place an oscillating fan for you. The bed was comfortable and slept through the night with noise- apart from the usual morning exiters!!! Would come again. Loved the interior and furniture- got some nice selfies! Can’t comment on breakfast as didn’t wake up early enough …

The shower wasn't working properly. The water was red hot and there were no instructions on how to turn the temperature down. There were only 4 tiny milk sachets. We had to ask for more. Not exactly expensive to provide more in the room.

Way better than expected

It was my first trip to somewhere I knew nothing about. I was en route north and needed to break my journey. Arrived at 2am to be met by the night receptionist who acted as though it was 11am. Charming, helpful and on the ball I regret not asking his name. I was expecting someone held asleep and looking like it; the reality was very pleasantly different. The room was immaculate with everything I needed and the bed comfortable. Bathroom spotless and even zYorkshire teabags! Does it get any better. I slept like a log and left without breakfast which I regretted because it smelled good. Well done everyone involved in making my stay so good. I will be back.

People friendly but issues

On arriving staff very friendly, room was dirty, tables had both dust and sticky bits on them. There was no tea, only coffee. Bed cushion were stained. We ate at the restaurant which was ok, but quite overpriced, as was breakfast, toasters too small for the bread.

A little bit disappointing

Overall the hotel was very clean and tidy as it is still quite new. Bed was comfortable and coffee making facilities were good and room was well equipped for business. Stay was let down by lack of knowledge by some staff and heating and shower broken, also the shower water pressure was abysmal for such a new facility.

Very pleasant stay at the hotel, all the facillities were clean, staff were very friendly. Nice open bar area and some table tennis and crazy golf at the weekends if you've got some time to kill. Rooms were nice, bathrooms looked modern and seem to have been recently refurbished. Only complaint would be the room felt a bit hot and if you're the road side of the hotel there's a bit of traffic noise if you have the windows open. Close to plenty of things to do so i'd recommend it.
