We arrived at hotel at 5.30pm. The check in is from 3pm, the room was bitterly cold like being outside. The reception check in staff went to the room to check the heating but the heating wasnt working. We asked for a heater then another one but the toilet was so cold it was like being outside. The room needs properly heated before guests arrive. We paid £130 and had the most uncomfortable night ever .

The single room was fine; comfortable bed, lovely fresh bedding. The bathroom was ok but the bath and shower were a bit challenging for an old person. Very good breakfast choice! Very pleasant staff Bar menu, all the usual food you see in almost every hotel. Disappointing.

We arrived 3 hrs early thinking we would explore the town before check-in. Unfortunately it was pouring of rain. My partner asked in the hotel to use the toilet explaining what's our plans were to the receptionist who offered us access to the health suite, we were delighted and really appreciated early access to the health suite. We practically had it to ourselves. It was lovely, the sauna was very relaxing with the tranquil music softly playing. It really made a difference to our stay, gave us more time to enjoy the hotel after booking in. Our room was warm, cosy, clean. We enjoyed our dinner in the restaurant. The following morning we had a lovely breakfast, all fresh and plenty of options to suit everyone. Prices in the bar were reasonable offering a relaxing area to enjoy a few drinks. Staff were all really lovely, so helpful. All in all we had a lovely 2 night stay definitely recommend and hope to return in the future.

The staff were helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was lovely. But overall I was disappointed, the decor in the pool area and in my room was very tired, my shower was so old I had to google how to use it - but then I still couldn't get it to work and had to wash my hair in the sink! for >£100 per night its not what I'd expected. I reported this to reception in the morning and they said they'd take a look

Girl on reception was polite and welcoming, I had an issue where my card was charged twice and wanted to check on check out that it had been refunded for one of the charges, the gentleman was adamant I had not been charged twice as one had been cancelled although his colleague left a note for the manager to day before to refund one of the payments, his manner was not very good, I was going to give feedback that the room was cold heating did not work and the flop is very slanted in the room with also a part of the carpet through the middle could potentially cause a trip hazard but he didn’t ask how our stay was so no option but to leave it on here.
