Nice but wouldn’t stay again

I called the hotel to say we were celebrating a 40th birthday. They said some welcome drinks and free upgraded will be complimentary and thank you for choosing the hotel when we arrived. We didn’t even have the room I originally booked and no drinks and no complimentary gift. Room was very tired. Hotel is beautiful. Breakfast and staff was amazing.

Good but rooms need air con!

Hotel and leisure centre were lovely especially the outside pool and jacuzzi on a hot day! Dinner was average for the cost and did wait ages for a drink. Breakfast was tasty and good selection. No air con in the room which was the biggest problem on a hot night as lack of sleep ruined the overall stay.

We always like returning to Pontlands Park - rooms are lovely and definitely among the largest hotel rooms we stay in. Access to the Reflections spa ensures that when we stay here, it feels like we could be anywhere in the world. A lovely escape from reality

Lovely stay. Only comment is for the price disappointed with self serve breakfast. Also no offer of other coffees except the awful flat white that was served. Finally no offer for other eggs than the pre cooked fried and scrambled

Worth it

Stayed here for my honeymoon, food was amazing and varied with friendly staff who couldnt have done more, despite me and my wife being alternative and probably not the hotels usual clientele we were treated with nothing but kindness and respect, my wife suffers from chronic pain and needs ice packs to sooth pain, despite no fridge/freezers in the rooms the staff were able to store her icepacks for her.
