We stayed for 2 nights in mid January. The reception staff were very nice and helpful when checking in. The room was large and pleasantly decorated with a superking bed. The bathroom was a let down, but they are in the process of upgrading them.
We had dinner in the restaurant (not the bar where the TV is). The starter, broth, was lovely and thick and hot. My main was chicken in bacon and was just lovely. My husband had fish in a sauce, something he would never usually have, and was most impressed. Unusually, we both managed sweet. I would certainly recommend eating in the restaurant.
Breakfast was also very good. The usual hot and cold selection, but it was good quality. Tea, coffee and toast was taken to your table and most unusually these days, a pot of hot water for the tea,
The pool area was nice, hot tub, sauna, steam room. All nice and clean, even though there was refurb works going on in the ladies shower area.
Mark the manager seemed to be there all the time and was a really nice guy who leads a great team.
All in all the hotel was a pleasant surprise. The main public area is a pleasant space with lots of sofas and tables in the bar area. Some other areas are a little run down, but they're working on it. Look past it and enjoy your stay!!!
