Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Everything superb, loved the room styling, newly refurbished feel, spotless clean. Top notch leisure facilities (could add poolside plant life and steam room scent maybe), gym full of new tech & choices with river view window. There was even a gym ball and mat in my club room. All staff helpful and prompt. I've stayed at other village hotels, this one was the best

Good location, only 10 minute walk to the train station. £5 to park for 24 hours which is a bargain! Room was spotless and minimalistic. Cool bar with a darts area too. Only stayed for one night so didn’t get to experience the pool. Starbucks is a bonus.

Restaurant needs a major update to the menu. Kitchen staff needs to be more respectful in conversation. Keeping a longer open for breakfast helps travellers coming in on international flights.

Lovely hotel. Friendly staff. Very comfy giant bed! Signage in the car park is a bit confusing as it says to pay via the app, no mention of the guest registration system in the foyer.
