- The treatment in the spa was great. However, I disliked that the pool was nowhere near the spa and that you had to walk through the bedroom area to get to the pool. I also disliked that i had to ask the staff where the toilets and shower facilities were. The shower room was not very nice and looked a bit grimy with water stains all over the glass and the towel bins overflowing with dirty towels. It looked and smelled quite unwelcoming. Food was ok but not great. Overall an ok experience but I will not rebook.
- The staff were all lovely and friendly, helpful and welcoming. Great experience and a wonderful gift to receive.
- Firstly I would say the treatments and therapists we had were amazing I would also say that the reception area of the treatments is also lovely and luxurious. However what lets this spa down is the spa area the Jucuzzi is not in action so they have placed an electric one in which is not working and Luke warm hardly any bubbles. The steam room is not really a steam room and should have far more steam in it the relaxation room could do with stone heated beds that would be a nice touch and why stick your guests in a conference room with tables in for afternoon tea with a consistent sound behind the wall sounding like somebody farting continuously Afternoon tea would have been nice in the spa reception by the coffee bar. All in all apart from the treatments I would not recommend this
- Just excellent place to relax
- We was really impressed with everything and I would like to do it again soon . Mrs Jane king

- Myself and my husband had the most wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were incredible, we were well looked after in the spa, the value for money was fantastic, the food was absolutely delicious. The only down side was the hotel room was to hot. But this did not spoil our stay in any way.
- We had a great spa break. The hotel and spa looked a bit tired in places esp walk to pool and no water ( but will be refurbished ). The restaurant was very good and all staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Excellent value for money as a package. Spa treatment was very high quality .
- This hotel is being run on a shoe string, there is not enough staff, service is poor, and the hotel is tired looking. The resturant has the ambience of a cafetière, as we walked through the resturant to be seated, we noted some guests seated at a table eating dressed in pyjamas and slippers, Dress code is smart casual, although the hotel policy is no bathrobes it doesn’t state pyjamas are not allowed,! We opted for the la carte menu as this was meant to be my. Birthday celebration. The food was very basic, portions small. Breakfast buffet can only be described as a Zoo. We shall not be staying here again.
- Everything was perfect.
- Accommodation was fine for what we needed. Comfy bed and large room. Bathroom was ok. The breakfast is great. Good quality food. Very impressed. Was disappointed with the dinner. We had £25 per head as part of the deal but the steak was £30 and was quite fatty and no better than a shop bought one you do at home. Beer was almost £6. So end up with large bill on top. Also so said skinny Fries so was expecting it to be presented better but was just normal cafe chips. Wasnt great options outside of a roast dinner to go for the buffet that's all inclusive.
