Great place to stay

Great place to stay, nice walks nearby. Hotel looks newly freshened up. Great decor and style. Staff are lovely. Could do with a mirror also in the bedroom as once you have had a shower the one in the bathroom takes a while for the steam to go. Also if your partner is in there you can't get ready to you can use the bathroom mirror. 5-10 mins from nirvana spa

Lovely Hotel

Some parts of the hotel were undergoing refurbishment, which meant we had to use odd routes to get about, but the staff were friendly, the food was great, and the room was spacious and clean with a lovely ensuite, so well worth the extra wandering.

Lovely! Our room was in the main building, which is pretty old, but has clearly been recently refurbished. It was tastefully decorated in keeping with the age of the building, but still felt fresh and modern at the same time. Bed was comfy and a good size, bathroom was very nice with a separate shower and huge bath. It was freezing cold that day, so the under floor heating in the bathroom was very welcome! Breakfast was very tasty & all the staff were very nice. The event we went to in one of the function rooms was very well run.

Expensive cocktails

Extremely expensive cocktails for a thimble of liquid, very disappointing. £12 for a passion fruit martini in a smaller than normal cocktail glass. Extremely unreasonable. Service very good in the event, and everything else ok, clean.

Ok but not sure it’s four star. Room was quite cold and couldn’t adjust the temperature on the radiator in bedroom or bathroom they seemed to be turned off. Wanted a shower in the morning but there was no hot water. Room was clean-ish, staff friendly. Didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment.

Nice, comfortable and clean

Lovely hotel is large grounds with large car parking area and excellent attached restaurant. Staff helpful and friendly, room clean and comfortable if a little dated. Bathroom lovely but water pressure not great. Nice burger in the restaurant where, unfortunately, a rather drunken couple were being obnoxious and offensive to staff but it was well handled. Overall a good stay and I'd definitely visit again should I need to stay in the area

Good value for what you get

Truely great service, the room size was amazing, spa bath had issues but once working was great, place could do with abit more of a detailed clean windows all had cobwebs on them (room 43) also ensure room keeping restock ok as both the still and sparkling complimentary waters were just empty bottles on the desk and only one glass, the continental breakfast was good… the fried breakfast tasted like the oil possibly wasn’t hot enough yet to do fried bread

Room needs improvements.

Room 12 needed refurbishment due to a damaged/stained carpet, paint issues and overall 'tired' appearance. Mentioned this on check out. Shower was nice though and the room was of a good size.

Away for work

This was a 1-night stay for work. Greeting by reception staff was friendly. I was in room 36, which was a large room with a large ensuite (shower over bath, big step up/down in/out of bath). Room comfortable with a table to work at and additional armchair in room. I had asked in advance for decaf tea and coffee in room, there was none when I got into room, so had to go and ask and was provided on request. Hotel menu a little on expensive side (£17 for fish and chips) so ate elsewhere. Car parking right outside main entrance (space for about dozen vehicles) overflow car park nearby.

Tired Hotel - still value for money - just

The hotel is a bit tired and in need of some renovation, it looks like this has started but it’s a huge site so a challenging task. Our room was a good size with a bath and separate shower. Little touches we have seen in the past like a pack of biscuits were missing this time round. Lots of dust on several of the surfaces especially in the bathroom but both the bath and shower worked well. After the first night our towels were replaced no option for us to continue to use the ones we had - and in fact we only received one new towel for day two. Breakfast was good with excellent service. Bed was comfortable as well. All in all it was just about worth the money.
