The hotel was ideal for the one night stay we needed prior to attending a funeral locally. The staff at check in/out were professional, polite and friendly. The restaurant staff were also very friendly, attentive and engaged in conversation. The breakfast was exceptional, with plenty of choice depending on guest’s preferences! Highly recommend!

Staff were excellent, from check-in to check-out they were brilliant. Derek was amazing and was a real credit to the hotel. He was so attentive to everyone he came into contact with and is brilliant with both children and adults, he certainly has a real way with people. Fahd, the head-chef was really friendly and positive. It was nice to see both enjoying what they do and it showed! Great location for Harry Potter studios.

Have to pay £7 extra for parking. Not enough tea/milk in rooms. Room was freezing cold. Very rude receptionist at pool. And the pool smelt of urine! Evening meal- kids usually have 3 courses but only 2 on offer here. Breakfast had raw croissants and very unpleasant tasting scrambled eggs.
