Two night stay

Room was lovely, breakfast buffet was fab. Unfortunately we booked here with two other families specifically to use the pool after our Legoland trip and we were only told on check in that children are heavily restricted on what time they can use the pool - which is not mentioned anywhere on the website. We also had to sign papers saying the children (12,12 and 9) wouldn’t jump, dive, splash or make any noise while in the water. It’s a shame because the hotel itself was lovely, but we won’t be returning.

Comfortable and efficient, great spa facilities

Efficient check-in and clean, spacious hotel. Great pool, steam and sauna with friendly spa receptionist. In the room, one thing I noted was how hard it was to find light switches for downlight / orbs by bed. They were integral knobs..and a random switch for an under-sink light was...by the bed. So tired trying to sort those..! Overall, one of the best little stays I've had for ease and comfort.
