This hotel caters mainly for coach trips do service is skewed towards large parties rather than solo travellers, having said that, staff were as friendly and efficient as they could be but they were run off their feet. Great deal on set dinner and the pool was a real bonus.

Great locations. Great hotel staff lovely. Breakfast all waiting so nothing cooked fresh. Small selection of food. Which isnt bad but could do with a little more option. I understand the hotel caters for the coach parties. But when they have children in the hotel, a childs option on the menu would help.

V helpful staff. Generally a good hotel. Would stay there again. Drawback- swimming alone is not allowed. So, not good if you are a single person. But the hot tub can be used and was excellent. Breakfast could be a bit better. Still, not bad for £10.00
