Had a great over night stay with family. We had a enjoyable swim after a easy check-in. We then had a lovely meal in one of the restaurants on site, nice foods decent portions. We selected breakfast options which was a good idea. Plenty of optionals from toast to full English and lots in between. Very enjoyable stress-free stay

We had an excellent two night break as a family of 4. The facilities were very clean and we had no issues during our stay. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly - my kids are already saying they want to go back!

The staying was nice overall. Only disappointing thing is the swimming pool poor timetable for children under 16yo. 8/10am and 2/5.30pm ish. Basically at breakfast time and at shopping/visit time only. If you have planned to go to visit some places around and have children with you, forget the swimming pool. The staff was nice and very polite.

Happy with hotel location, rooms, food and cleanliness. There were 20 of us there across different families and the team coped very well when we all went for dinner. They also provided nice touches on the friday as it was my daughter's wedding on the saturday

I would not recommend it for family. Nothing much for the kids. Quite away from everything. Breakfast not great. But ok for business or overnight stay.

Family weekend with three small children, everything was great, staff all friendly and helpful, clean, food and drinks were good, not a major thing but the only disappointment was the swimming pool (in the allocated children’s time) didn’t allow for our 18 month old. One of the reasons we choose the hotel was for the swimming pool use.
