On arrival the reception staff were very welcoming, I believe the lady who dealt with us was called Katie. The staff in the restaurant in the evening again were lovely, very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.

The hotel is nice…we found the spa, swimming pool area nice…. The rooms are dated. Pleasant enough but dated. Some of the staff were not the most professional and a bit curt. Overall a nice enough hotel if not a bit dated.

It was clean and well appointed. However, it had a corporate feel with dated furnishings and resources. No USB points that I could see. The toilet flush didn’t work properly.

The hotel is very attractive and in a good setting convenient for the motorway network. The rooms are nice . The staff could have been a bit more friendly we found them quite formal. We received conflicting information about the cost and availability of some services. For example, some of us were told that there was no facility to store luggage, others had their luggage stored without a problem.
