Beds could be more comfortable, but clean and great to have access to the leisure centre.
Pool and hydro centre usually busy as it is a leisure club as well as a hotel

Lovely staff, good breakfast and clean room. Good value for money, only negative is the car park and leisure facilities are full of leisure club members whereby it felt less like a hotel than a room annexed to a leisure club.
Good facilities, clean and pleasant. Plenty of parking

staff was great. room was not great. little, crowded, temp was hard. Food horrible, over cooked. Only goog part was the staff, who were excellent and nice.
The room was a good size for 2 with a comfortable bed, and we had a nice bathroom with a lovely hot shower. My wife and I enjoyed using the gym and regret not using the pool - we will do next time I come, which is a dead cert. We had lunch in the bar on arrival and the food was quality. Breakfast was really good and there was plenty of choice. Finally, the staff were friendly and welcoming. Highky recommended.
