Roe Park Resort

Was one of the recommended hotels for my nephew's wedding, which wasn't at the property but nearby. Was noisy, room too hot & service was mediocre. Had it been a bargain or even a reasonable price, I probably wouldn't be so harsh. But at over £200 per night, definitely not worth the price. On first night, I thought I'd enjoy the bar & live music. But left after one drink as 30-40 children running rampant all over the place so you couldn't enjoy the music. And I left the bar at 10:45pm with children still running everywhere. Bar area is small so people sit in lobby area as if in an airport departure lounge, so no atmosphere. Got back from my nephew's wedding at midnight on second night & still children running around everywhere. So, unless you are part of a wedding party at the property itself (so don't care about singing & screaming while walking back to your room past other guest rooms at 2am) or have children you want to exhaust with the daytime activities & running around the bar all evening, I would stay away, certainly on weekends.

We decided to treat ourselves to an overnight stay at a nice hotel before a wedding we were attending in the area. We had been ill with covid a month ago and missed our holiday, so this was by way of a pick me up! The hotel has a great reputation, but sadly we can not support this. Our room was ok, bed comfortable - but the swimming pool was less than ok! There were wall to wall children when we went in - and so we immediately left and came back at a later time - not easy as the last swim was 7.30pm! Very early given there were many children there up to 6.30pm. We couldn't find a dry spot in the changing rooms to even stand and given that we had no bathrobes - even though we asked - it was difficult to put clothing back on without it getting soaked! We had a lovely meal in the Coachouse - fabulous! But when we returned to the foyer and bar - some poor guitarist was trying to sing over the top of about 15 children running around shouting! I never did find out if there was a kids event on! I work with kids all the time, I don't dislike them - I have 2 of my own - but there was no allowance for anyone who might like time away from them. We met a young couple who had come away without their kids - only to be faced with dozens of other people's. The pool area is VERY small. We will not be rushing back to the Radisson Roe.
