Little drive to/from town central, decent place and good food but very cold hotel. Everywhere you go, the hotel was cold apparently the common area heater was broken. No lounge area to hangout or do some work other than your hotel room or the bar. Hilton, you can do better!!!!

Very welcoming and friendly staff at the reception They went an extra mile to upgrade our room. Very close to the Motorway, Equestrian centre and the city centre. Lots of carpark spaces. The swimming pool and the gym are so good where you can relax and do your workouts. Happy to come back anytime

The rooms were spacious and clean. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was great. Unfortunately there seems to be difficulties in the restaurant with dinner service due to a lack of staff. The spa pool wasn't warm enough for us to use which we did relay to staff. Hopefully it's been rectified.

I liked the amenities that were on hand, staff were friendly the only gripe is that the room I had to share was small but that was due to booking availability. Otherwise I am satisfied with my stay and will most likely stay again.
