Staff were nice, kids received a teddy on arrival which they loved, location is good and breakfast buffet was good. The external grounds of the hotel are also picturesque but inside the actual hotel room it felt dated and didn’t reflect the value we paid for the room. We also didn’t realise until the reception told us that kids under 16 are not allowed to use the hotel pool which was a bit upsetting to the kids.

Check in took 45 minutes. Then one room wasn’t ready despite us arriving at around 3.45. We were told to wait in the one room until the other was ready. Walked to different building in pouring rain. All luggage delivered to bedroom no 1. My son complained and we received a credit to our room. As I was celebrating my investiture I had met my brother and his wife on the Saturday. We came back to the hotel for drinks. The only space for 5 of us in the bar was a booth - the last of 3 near the door. The booth was so narrow we had trouble getting in. Our coats were hung over the back of the seats which made one side even tighter. To get to the toilet you had to go outside again - in the rain! My room was smaller than that of my son and his partner. After a very busy 2 days I went to my room early and wanted to watch TV in bed. Unlike my son’s room the TV was not on the wall in front of the bed but on the left. Uncomfortable to say the least. Beds were comfortable and bathroom facilities good. Would I recommend - no. Would I say here again - no.

I had booked Premium King rooms for our stay as this was for a special celebration. On arrival it took over 40 minutes to check in. Only one of the two rooms booked was ready, and we were told that if we went to the available room someone would inform us when the other was available. I have stayed in hotels before when rooms weren't ready and was offered refreshments whilst I waited, this option wasn't offered. My son complained and we were given a credit to the room to use during our stay. We were taken to our rooms, in a different building to check in, in the rain, though to be fair the young lady who accompanied us did ask if we minded walking through the smoking area, which was the fastest route. On our second evening, and after my investiture at St James's Palace and a meal, I brought guests back to the hotel rather than trying to find a bar elsewhere. There was only one space for 5 people in the bar, in a booth at the end of 3 by the door. Space between the bench seats and the table was small to say the least, and not comfortable. Coats had to be placed on the back of the bench seats which meant even less available room. A visit to the restrooms was again outside and through the smoking area in the rain! I retired to my hotel room to watch TV, which, unlike my son's bigger room, was on the left hand wall and uncomfortable to watch, so I gave in and turned off. Would I stay again no. Would I recommend no. Was it value for money definitely not.
