Delicious Breakfast!

The breakfast buffet was genuinely really good, offering a wide variety of fresh options. I particularly enjoyed the full English breakfast, which was replenished frequently and was always hot and tasty. It really set a positive tone for each day of my stay.

Spacious Executive Room

Staying in the executive room was a highlight for me. The extra space was wonderful, and the large bathroom provided a feeling of luxury. The air conditioning unit worked flawlessly, keeping the room perfectly cool overnight.

7.2/10

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The staff were genuinely friendly and accommodating, especially when they provided us access to another room during our early arrival, which I appreciated. On the downside, the parking situation was frustrating, especially for a hotel that offers spa services. The overall amenities, though fine, didn't quite meet the standard I expected. It's a reasonable option when visiting the area but be mindful of the parking policies.

United Kingdom, September 2024

6.4/10

My recent stay had its ups and downs. The hotel itself was well-maintained with a lovely reception area, but my room was average and lacked some necessary amenities like a fridge. The breakfast was standard but fine, while the pool and gym were areas I didn't explore. Overall, I enjoyed the location, but improvements are definitely needed for me to consider returning.

Rooms

6.0

The room was average size, clean but disappointing that it didn't have a fridge, which similar rooms did. The shower was low, and the ironing board was dirty, which affected my experience.

Service

6.0

The reception staff were polite but seemed a bit unhelpful about providing a fridge. The barman was accommodating, which was nice, but overall, service felt patchy.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location was convenient, making it easy to get around, which I appreciated during my stay.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was fairly standard, and while it was satisfactory, nothing seemed remarkable about it. The bar prices were high, which felt excessive due to the added service charge.

Facilities

7.0

I didn't use the pool or gym, so I can't provide insight, but I heard some feedback about them being decent.
