Decent stay. Main reason I chose here was that it listed it had laundry facilities (according to its details on Expedia), only to come and find out there are no laundry facilities. Ended up having to find a hacky way to get my laundry done. But other than that, it’s a decent place for the night: spacious, comfy bed, front desk was really nice. It was good for a night, but wouldn’t really want to stay any longer honestly

2 night stay. First room had view of car park and a large stain on carpet. We were moved to a room with a lovely view of golf course. Breakfast was nice but our main complaint is to Hotels.com for not advising us that the pool was closed for a few weeks.

The location is what we wanted. Things that could have been better reception needing new flooring looked very dirty with tired looking furniture. Further upgrade to rooms required extra keys,fridge,safe,,decor. Why we wont be back served drinks in dirty glasses machine fault i guess. Waiters not really trained enough, also BO personel hygine not coverd at dinner and breakfast.

The location and staff at the hotel were brilliant but sadly the rooms (at least my room) was badly in need of renovation and a good clean. The bed was super-comfy and I liked the water fountains on each floor, although sadly none of them had gas for the sparkling water option. Breakfast was lovely, plenty of choice and served piping hot.

Overpriced.

Room was fine, zero WiFi on the lower ground floor. Breakfast was extortionate (and not particularly good). Website said pool and sauna were being renovated but I didn’t go to check if they were open (no reduction in price of stay).
