The staff were all friendly and helpful. We had nail clippings on the carpet next to the bed and also in the bathroom next to the sink. We also had a wet towel hanging on the back of the bathroom door which had to be from the previous guest which led us to believe the room wasn’t as clean as it should be

Room was not good. Bedside lights didn't work. Wardrobe door was hanging of the hinges. Carpet was old. Paintwork was in need of attention. Walls were all marked. Bathroom was clean and bed was comfortable. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent. Breakfast could have been better. Spa was good. Wouldn't book again, there were too many negatives.

Initially ignored by the receptionist, despite standing there waiting to be greeted and booked in. Booked a double room and was given a twin room. Had dinner in the restaurant, which was busy and had to wait over an hour for our mains. The food was very good, though. Overall, we would not come here again.
