We were on a coach trip that arrived late on Sunday evening to find we were shunted into an alternative dining room. A wedding was in full swing in the main rooms. The service was flustered, soup spilled, cutlery dropped and the staff in a flap! The service is not geared up for serving large numbers. Breakfast was hit and... More

We visited this hotel in August 2012. Has the standards or welcome slipped any way since our last visit?. You bet it has not.

There was... More

We had a lovely breakfast and a great chat with our waiter, brill start to our day!! The rooms are lovely and comfortable and the leisure centre is a... More

Visited this hotel with my wife for a wedding on May 11th. Great experience, great staff very helpful, probably the best wedding dinner I ever had. Nothing was too much hassle for the staff. Will definitely be back for another visit at some stage with the family.
