Me and my partner came here for an overnight stay for our anniversary 2 weeks ago honestly couldn’t fault from the minute we got there till we left , we was greeted by the gate man and he wished us a happy anniversary which was lovely! Got to the reception she walked us round the hotel and showed us to our room with a complimentary bottle of Prosecco which was lovely :) room was spotless , rose petals on the bed and lovely Elemis samples in bathroom and on bed which was a great touch! Hot tub was amazing! Really recommend getting the hot tub if you can only fault is ur aloud until 11pm but that was fine for us. the spa was unbelievable really relaxing , changing rooms were spotless and cocktails were available, the cosy pub was a lovely touch and you don’t feel like you have to leave the site which is a bonus! Breakfast was everything it should have been fresh pastries, full English, cereal all you can eat was really happy. Staff were lovely really helpful and always had a smile on their faces to make you feel welcome. Overall so happy with our stay and we will most definitely be coming back! Miss it already

The hotel is nice and clean, staff are very friendly, helpful and polite. The spa is its gem that is open till late and you can have a drink in there. What lets it down is its poor food, £12 per day parking and the decor in the hotel is just too tacky for me. Glitter wallpaper, mirrored vases, Buddha heads and fluffy chairs. I’m not happy about £72 charge for car parking.

Lovely room and fantastic location! Helpful and friendly staff. Amazing food & bar. Spa facilities were fantastic. The bed was uncomfortable but we asked for a mattress topper and it was brought to our room almost instantly. The bathroom was average - water pressure and temperature wasn’t consistent and weren’t supplied with a bath mat. £10 per day charge for car parking but overall really lovely hotel & staff.

The hotel was amazing the staff are super friendly and helpful. The sauna, steam room and pool facilities are brilliant. I was surprised that the hotel charged extra for guests to park their car. When I queried this I was informed that guest booking through third party sites like expedia have to pay a car parking fee. This was a £12 fee per night which I felt was cheeky. Hence the 4 star review. I also informed them that the sauna door does not shut properly which they will be looking into.

Stayed for a birthday weekend at this beautiful hotel, from the minute we walked through the door we where greeted with a smile and a warm welcome from Lesley on reception, she took us through everything and showed us to our from all with a constant smile, we had a cosy double with a hot tub and the room was stunning not small at all, we went for a walk into the centre which was lovely and prob took 7 mins, breakfast at the hotel was a standard help yourself buffet but again had everything you needed, staff at breakfast where friendly and welcoming. We used the spa which was lovely and we also ate lunch in the pub which was nice as well, again all staff we spoke to in the pub/spa where welcoming and very friendly, we went into the cocktail bar for drinks and where helped by Taylor and Findlay who where fab so chatty and helpful, we checked out the next morning after another lovely breakfast and organised a taxi to go back up station which unfortunately didn’t show, I was stressing a little but Alicia and Monika on reception sorted it by organising for Carl to drive us to the station, nothing is a problem for the staff at this hotel. The hotel is beautiful and I would return in a heartbeat, the stand out at this hotel for me is the staff, only once before have I been on a trip where every single staff member I encountered genuinely wanted to help you and make sure you where having the best time the staff working at this hotel really are amazing. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Overall a very nice stay, staff all very friendly, welcome prosecco on arrival, trip in bentley which was nice, friend said spa was amazing although abit busy at times. only downside i didnt like is cost of cocktails were very expensive and over priced so didnt have any as refused to pay £15-18 for 1 drink. cocktails should be around £8-12. also my bed had two large dips in it which was noticeable so shame they didnt change mattress before i arrived and dips dont just appear over night for the price you pay you expect a nice mattress. This was springy and cheap. Not sure if i would return on not as i say overall was a nice stay but those little things let it down
