friendly staff especially Hannah in reservations who dealt with our amended booking. The bed was very comfy and cosy. Breakfast was a bit disappointing- only one style of eggs - scrambled. Dinner was also very rushed with the preordered food being rushed out. Games facilities were good fun. An enjoyable stay

Nice place to stay. Small bedroom, although as a solo travelling female i didn't feel comfortable having my window open so wide anyone could have climbed in, this did make me wake a few times in the night as it was too warm to leave open. Staff could have been better to explain the facilities, and the food situation was rather confusing with no explanation, i was pretty much able to go and help myself to a 3 course buffet without payment or question from the team. I may have chosen this if i knew about it, but no information about. Table scan option didn't work for ordering food, little disappointing had to join the busy bar que. but the bar dishes where nice - not too much choice on the menu either

Excellent hotel.

Helpful staff, beautifully clean hotel, great food and a comfortable bed. Aircon in the room would have been nice, it was hot weather and difficult to keep the room cool enough to sleep well.
