The hotel is nice but the bed and cover provided for children is not great. The restaurant is quite expensive for what you get, the staff was very nice though. Registration for parking is quite complicated.

Great hotel, super friendly and helpful staff. Rooms were spacious and the location is conveniently right opposite a Co-op and right next to the train station. Parking was cheaper than expected with an off-peak weekend tariff. Lovely breakfast. Leisure facilities were good and maintained but the pool did get very busy at times and it isn't a huge pool. Overall a very pleasurable stay and we would definitely go back.

Octavius

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Unfortunately, I was disappointed with several aspects of my stay. I was charged £30 more than my sister-in-law for the same room and package, with the only explanation given being a 30-minute difference in our booking times. This seemed unreasonable and left me feeling frustrated. Directions on where to park could also be clearer. In addition, the kettle in the room kept breaking down, and the TV was faulty and stuck on one channel. These issues affected the comfort and convenience. The positive experience was Genni from reception and breakfast staff who were professional, friendly, and helpful.
