Breakfast was good. Rooms are poor quality, very old. Things broken in the rooms and nothing staff can do about it but say sorry. The spa is good but restricted to just one hour and also restricted to just the pool, can’t use the nice spa pool without paying another £70 per person per day so be aware of that. The hotel location is good, walkable to the park and ride and each to get into the centre etc.

The room we were staying, the decor was tired - not worthy of a 4 star hotel unfortunately. Upon arrival, wardrobe door was hanging off hinges, the wifi receiver box was hanging of the wall - room was also very dark. Pointed out wardrobe door to concierge and they had it fixed the next day, but should have been done before guest arrival - tables in hallway tired and peeling off. The staff was friendly though, especially in the breakfast room. Breakfast had a good choice.

We had a very pleasant stay, mainly thanks to the excellent leisure facilities. The pool was clean and inviting, the jacuzzi was relaxing, and the sauna added a great touch to the overall experience. These amenities really made our visit enjoyable. While there’s still room for small improvements, the wellness area definitely stood out and made our stay worth recommending. --- This version emphasizes the positives while keeping the tone balanced and professional. Would you like me to make it more concise (for quick reviews) or slightly more detailed (to give future guests richer context)?

We visited for Christmas with our child, dog and wider family. We liked the location and spa facilities, and the breakfast was exceptional. Our dog-friendly room was very small, especially with a cot we found to hard to get the pram in and out. We were close to reception and was woken up early by hoovering and staff (not reception staff) talking very loudly closeby. The reception staff were great but had an issue with one of the managers when raising an issue about one of our party’s rooms. The room could do with a bit of upkeep, like the bathroom door not closing and locking.
