Car park charges
Pros:

Nice big clean room and decent food

Cons:

I think it is unfair to be charged £15 for parking which when added to Breakfast and evening meal made the stay poor value for money.

Pros:

All the staff were amazing

Cons:

Paying for parking. Having to share the swimming pool with a baby swimming class. There was a large group of adults in the reception window jist staring in. I was with my 13 year old daughter. It made her feel very uncomfortable. Saturday morning was the only time we could use the pool. The pool staff were not as friendly or helpful as the reception staff

Amazing Stay for our anniversary
Pros:

The little extra touches for our first wedding was such amazing gesture & we were very blown away & made our stay extra special. We paid for the balcony & the room size was very generous, would be happy to come back with kids. Staff were amazing. Breakfast was delicious. Bar area was great.

Cons:

The only area that needs work is the pool area, we were down there for 5mins & then decided not to stay down there.

Too hot

An escape to the air con & pool
Pros:

Air con was great, which was the main purpose of my stay. Overall I thought my stay matched my expectations based on advertised photos/facilities. Easy walk from the train station, decent sized pool, comfy bed. Wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Cons:

An odd thing, but instead of a duvet I actually had a mattress topper in the sheet. I slept well, but it was odd.
Pool timings were also slightly off, I was told I would have to be out by 9:10pm rather than the 9:30pm that's on the schedule.
Neither of these impacted my overall stay!

Lauren.R saved the day by moving us to a room with working aircon!
Pros:

Great location, has a swimming pool and generally nice rooms! The staff were really friendly! Shout out to Lauren.R who helped us move rooms and was so lovely.

Cons:

Our aircon wasn’t working on the first night, in the heatwave, so it was a horrible night.
Also paying £15 a day for parking on top of the room does feel extremely steep, parking should be free for hotel guests.

Overall, okay.
Pros:

Reception acted quickly to give us another room when we realised we had not been given 2 single beds as booked.

Cons:

It's summer and it is hot. Room did not have a fridge. The sink did not drain well at all.
