Overpriced. We paid £360 for 2 nights with breakfast. On arrival we had to pay a further £30.00 to use the pool area. This being an extea charge for not booking direct. So £390 in all. Our room wasn't made up on the 2nd day until gone 3pm. Used cups not, cleaned, removed or replaced. Water stains from cups not cleaned. Hardly any wardrobe hanging space. Other than that the hotel is fine, but needs better standards in respect of room cleaning. We won't use this chain again due to the additional charging to use facilities which really should be included, given the price we had already paid. Extortionate

Lovely place to stay.

We had amazing check in service when we arrived. Great explanation on how to get water and milk. Nice touches in the room. Very clean and tidy. Flannel provided. Spa product's and the cutest sheep cups. Dressing gown and slippers. Thoroughly enjoyed and would return. Only downside for me was the extra charge to use the swimming pool.

Quick check in which was good. Room extremely hot despite the closed curtains and fan is wasn’t pleasant. Opened the window to let some air in then you have the traffic noise from the M6. Hardly slept cancelled the second night as wasn’t a great experience. Food was expensive and bland. £21 for a dry over cooked burger with a thin slice of tomato, 2 lettuce leaves, some cheese and a slice of bacon. Staff were helpful when I explained why I cancelled breakfast and the second night. Doubtful I would stay again in warm weather.

Made a mistake when booking and ordered a twin instead of a double. Staff could not have been more helpful - told us to go to dinner and they moved all our luggage to a different room. Excellent customer service!

Weary?

Yikes. Lots of kids and weird people on their way to the spa with not enough clothes on; avert your eyes or rip them out. Unable to book an evening meal on arrival, but that was a blessing in retrospect because the breakfasts were not enjoyable - food from under the hot-lights. We thought the hotel was in need of modernisation and decoraration. Nothing to do with good order, we just found it weary.

Lovely one night stay

Just enjoyed a lovely one night stay the hotel looks very bland from the outside but once you get indoor the decor is lovely. we paid £15 each to use the spa facilities definitely worth it we made good use of it during our stay my wife booked herself in for a massage. Room was very good lovely comfortable bed with all the amenities coffee machine, iron, ironing board, hairdryer etc. The only thing I would pull it on is the shower can become very slippy from the soap or shower gel. We didn’t have our evening meal in the restaurant but we did have breakfast plenty of choice from usual breakfast items to pancakes and pastries. Overall it was a lovely would definitely stay here again.
