Hotel grounds were lovely.
Booked mainly to use the gym but it was £20 extra and didn’t open till 8am (so not ideal if staying for business - but I should’ve checked prior). Bathrooms could do with a refresh.
Room 12 television not working bit disappointed as ive stayed here 5 times previously and all been spot on ! Time before put me in room 5 absolutely loved it.
