Easy to find and great for the price.
On arrival to the hotel it has lovely grounds surrounding the hotel, check in was quick and easy. The room itself was dated but clean I would recommend but could do with some modernizing.

A enjoyable vacation
That’s a good and comfortable hotel, we had a relax and happy trip, the receptionist in the morning also very thoughtful, he did remind us the swimming rules when he knows we want to pay and extend the checkout time to swim with my son. Thank you~

Shoddy
Bed comfy, not enough plugs, me and my son were sneezing and itchy all night. The lampshades were mouldy. The wardrobes were scratched to bits, not enough tea/coffee supples. Pool and gym had late open times breakfast way overpriced. We drove into chester for our breakfast instead. Would not return

Ok but not the best.
Room was large and overall an ok stay. Food prices and quality did not match. As a vegan I found the options & quality not great& breakfast highly over priced given I could not eat most of the food on offer.

A very brief stay. Single room was clean and quiet. Nice to have robe.
Managed to set my alarm an hour late but was greeted by Scarlet in the restaurant who kindly sorted me some breakfast to go, a lovely young lady.
The only negative was the car park has no lights at night which was quite dangerous due to an uneven surface.
Would like to come back and try the spa.

Restaurant looked very posh and beautifully modern. However booked a deluxe room and it was incredibly outdated, very below standard
