Easy check in and car park okay if spaces a little tight.Room okay if a little tired and no charging points for mobiles etc. Breakfast good and gym and swimming pool area okay changing rooms cramped and have to walk through the gym to the pool? Bar drinks as with most hotels too expensive and they wonder why people go out to eat and drink

No atmosphere in the bar and very expensive drinks. Breakfast was just average - minimum choice and hot food luke warm

8/10 Very good

Room good size but needed but of maintenance. Marks on walls, wallpaper coming off. A bit dated but comfortable bed. Bath had 2 long hairs in it but otherwise clean. Car park small and managed to get last space. Saw 2 other cars come in but no spaces left. Also sign saying non residents could park for a fee? Do not think this should be allowed given size of car park. Must be difficult for guests with children and luggage if they can't get a space.
