    We were lucky because on our arrival there was first day of swimming pool reopen, but there was no info on temporary closure during reservation process.... and swimming pool was one of the most important in hotel selection. There was no clock on the swimming pool, the reservation process of swimming pool should be more modern (e.g. mail, web form, mobile app). One day after late arrival there were no bottles with drinking water in room (somebody took used one and forgot to put refiled).

    Very comfortable beds and big rooms. Renovated swimming pool with warm water. Good breakfast. Quiet. Location good, but only if you are by car. Daily refilled drinking water bottles. The room was well prepared, equipped with baby cot which we asked during reservation process.

    In the two dinners they didn’t had the full offer of plates on the menu, in the second night was worse. The restaurant staff seemed a little bit lost

    Reception - I was charged more than my rate which was confirmed by booking.com. spoke with Reception twice, who acknowledged the mistake, spoke with them again upon departure. They explained the refund will be deducted from the total, but did not happen. Incredibly frustrating that I am having to message them again. Black out curtains in the room did not touch the ground, so the sun was beaming through at 6am. Lack of TV channel options available and was unable to connect to phone

    Lovely hotel with no noise in neighbouring rooms, very good size accommodation. Food very tasty also with on point house cleaning (they couldn't do enough for you)

    There was a great fruit selection at breakfast but would be great if they had pancakes to cook ourselves rather than as an extra for £6. Thinner bacon as it was very thick and didn't taste nice. Would be great to provide choc spread for toast as there was only honey and jam

    Really friendly and welcoming team from reception to catering. Very clean everywhere and nice touches such as chocolate pieces on arrival

    Pool out of action...being refurbished but booking website not mentioned about this.

    Bed was very comfortable and room very clean. Upgraded to the premium king for an extra £15...got a bathtub and larger bed..worth paying. Breakfast very good, dinner average, menu was. OK but could be improved with wider selection or specials.
