Not a welcoming experience
At check in there was a training session going on and so I didn’t interrupt, but no one even acknowledged me, another customer came along and they looked after them before me, so we weren’t off to a good start. Swimming pool was cold and grotty, and there was no hot water in the room, which was very dated. Also there as gum stuck to my he remote of the tv, pretty gross. Dinner was good though.

Excellent Customer Service
So our stay started off great! Lovey spacious family room with a smart tv to watch Netflix on so kids were delighted. However at around 12.30am the couple next door decided to have a domestic and our kids got scared listening to this. Adam the night porter moved us to another room within minutes of asking him. The room we got to smelled of smoke and paint which wasn’t ideal however the next morning we were moved to a similar room from the first night! In fairness the hotel couldn’t know that 2 w**kers would start killing each other but they done absolutely everything they could to facilitate us! Dinner was beautiful breakfast had a lot of choices and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly! I would recommend anyone to stay here it’s just outside the town so there’s no noise at night and a good nights sleep is guaranteed considering no one decides to be Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson next door to you!! Thank you to everyone for your enjoyable and easy stay. We will be back again !!!

8/10 Very good

The hotel was very impressive upon entry. The person who welcomed us at the front desk was friendly and professional. The room was very spacious and well equipped. We found the TV was very small and the water pressure in the shower could be a bit better. It was convenient to have a restaurant within the hotel. However, based on the rest of the hotel, we had higher expectations. The quality of the food could be improved.

Clean and comfortable
All the staff were great, especially in the restaurant and bar - the young lady supervisor in the blue with dark hair is a huge asset to your team. The food was delicious and service timely. Room a little tired, bathroom disappointing with shower over bath and shower curtain. I'm no longer fond of trying to manoeuvre under a shower head positioned close to the wall, with the curtain clinging to my legs!

Not bad at all
Enjoyed our stay. Only few issues were the dirty carpet in the room, the shower which was awkward to get under, and no sockets beside the bed. Otherwise it was grand.
