Loved the pool but would have prefered better (separate) changing/showering facilities.
The room wasn't ideal for getting ready for a party ie difficult to access the main mirror for making up/drying hair due to position - bed & bedside table in the way. Old fashioned TV & very thin walls meant i heard next doors conversation into the early hours of the morning although they weren't talking loudly.
The hold water for the basin was dangerously scalding hot.
Staff wonderful & food exceptional

Set in peaceful extensive grounds with sports facilities, Woodside has a large car park, usually full of expensive company cars. The abundance of little groups in corners, clipboards, and moblies phones clamped to most ears, tell you this is a business hotel. If you accept that, and then enjoy for yourself the wonderful food, friendly staff, and leisure facilties, you won't be disappointed. The bedrooms are a bit corporate, but comfortable and warm, and you look in vain for a cosy lounge. But, hey, the prices are amazing, and you will be made very welcome. Go there and see for yourself. For what it is, it is very good.

The rooms are quite old but are extremely spacious, clean, well kitted out, soft sheets, large bathroom, pleasant surroundings, wonderful and friendly staff. For a business trip, this hotel is perfect.

I am also a foodie and found the food to be superb although i did not sample the breakfasts.

What can I say...
I first came across this hotel via late rooms. I stayed here last summer so my views and opinions are a snap shot of this period only!

The Room - Very dated with varnish peeling off the desk and bed side cabinets in the room. Old box TV with limited channels. Extremely thin walls to the point of being able to hear the next door neighbours whisper goodnight to one another - and the rest! The ceiling of the room is a treat for those who like to listen out for pin drops! The gap beneath the door was so large that I could fit my hand through it right up to my knuckles! The room was also based next to a noisy boiler! The room was number 15 possibly??

The Bathroom - Shower was great... Great at getting everything wet barring the person stood beneath it!! It sprayed everywhere making a mess of the bathroom and more importantly a creating a real safety hazard. The shower head was a Bacteriologists delight - lots of black gunk on it!

The Pool - Actually very nice! Clean & clear - A plus for this otherwise poor hotel (in my opinion).

The Sauna - Dodgy electrical switch pack on its entrance - fantastic opportunity for a shock probably greater than that of the room!

The Bar - Great food - Another plus for this hotel! Thai green curry was tasty!

Now for the most staggering part! I keep all my receipts - especially those bar ones to cross reference against my bill at the end of my stay! My last day arrived and I went to settle up and paid my bar and food bill! Out of interest I then cross referenced it with my individual receipts. 3 Orders stood out! A) I dint make the orders & B) I was in bed when they were made. I found this very unusual as to order anything from the bar I had to say my surname, show my room key and sign the bill. How could anyone have made these orders without my key!? I then explained the predicament to the lady on reception who promptly said it was my mistake!!! The customer is obviously not always right! I then demanded to see all the signed receipts which the lady begrudgingly agreed to. What a Surprise!! 3 Receipts with someone else's signature - A surprise for the lady behind the counter - now coughing whilst swallowing her words! I asked how this could happen. I didn't get a sufficient answer - I 'think' the bar staff were granting drinks under my room to 'regulars' - I can't confirm this but how else would they have gotten round the showing of the room key and my surname for orders??!

Overall - If the above doesn't describe it very well - A poor hotel - More annoyingly a real disappointment as it looks so nice from a distance and on websites!
