i found the room clean, and it had good size. tea and coffee facilities were great. the bar food stood out, and i liked the atmosphere. the pool was warm, and it was not too busy.
the extended pre-fab buildings which housed more rooms did seem less desirable.

The gardens surrounding the hotel were well maintained. I appreciated the breakfast buffet that offered a lot of choice.. I enjoyed the served breakfast. The hotel's location was superb with the town center a short walk away.
The room's appearance was dated. The tea and coffee selection provided in the room seemed more suitable for a budget hotel. I found this quite disappointing for the price paid, a £250 one night stay.
