Would highly recommend this hotel. The staff was incredible- above and beyond- I wish I got the name of the girl working the 2 nights I was there she was great. We utilized the laundry service, which was simple and convenient. £25 a bag. The breakfast was just what you’d expect from a hotel breakfast. The pool was nice- I do wish there was more space to just relax in the pool when I went it was set up for las only- but that might have been the timing. Bistro restaurant was pretty good!

We stayed in the hotel for 2 nights and found it to be extremely busy with family events. The public areas were not clean, with the lift being grubby with dirt and spilled water for example, that did not seem to be cleaned up across the day. Breakfast was chaotic with poorly laid out tables- we had to find cups and cutlery for ourselves. Staff were busy but seemed over loaded and did not make sure we knew how breakfast service worked. Bedrooms were comfortable and grounds gorgeous with plenty room to park.
