Plenty of room for parking - however the code to leave made no sense. (Especially for taxi drivers). The staff were friendly. Breakfast - no grilled tomatoes (normally a staple) The swimming area was ok - the scum on the top of the hot tub looked yuck. It was a place of convenience- close enough to the NEC.

Lovely Hotel

Lovely hotel set in beautiful grounds surrounded by a golf course. the hotel itself is clean and the staff are very friendly, like other reviews the rooms are little dated, but not in a bad way, and they very spacious unlike some modern hotels. the food at breakfast was good, with plenty of options and again he dining room was spacious and we didn't feel on top of other guests.

Run down hotel purely catering for golfers these days. Late night party woke us up at 3am. Spa area doesn’t feel clean. Huge queue for service at the bar - no urgency from bar staff. Some nice staff but look like rabbits in the headlights when dealing with any issues.
