Lovely hotel and spa, I would return but stay on lower floor and would check air conditioning is working before booking.
Pros:

Really good location, very clean. Staff very friendly. Spa was very quiet.

Cons:

No air conditioning just 2 fans in room. We were at the top of building so room was very hot, which meant sleeping was difficult.

Great break apart from paying for parking it would make us think about booking again
Pros:

The hotel was very clean, the staff were fantastic very helpful and the food was great

Cons:

Paying for parking £10 for 24 hours and we stayed for 2 nights, we have never paid for parking when we stayed at a hotel that is our ONLY complaint as everything else with the spa was excellent

Excellent hotel but some issues
Pros:

Good sized room, comfortable bed, excellent facilities.
Well cooked food at dinner and breakfast, plenty of choice.
Plenty of parking and good location to centre if you don't mind a walk
Liked the generous supply of free iced water in hot weather.

Cons:

Room was very noisy due to loud bangs from guests on floor above.
Evening meal at restaurant lacked any ambience and soft background music needed as provided at breakfast.
Unsettling to see a large rat run across our path in the parking area outside the hotel

Pros:

Location was fairly central. The spa relaxation room was lovely and there is a small pool, steam room and sauna.

Cons:

The room looked directly out onto the carpark. Would be more private with a slatted blind or something to give you light and privacy.

The Aircon was a unit on the wall, very noisy and very breezy to sleep under.

Breakfast was like a treasure hunt. Glasses no where near the juice but hidden behind the toaster. Butter no where near the jam but next to the ham. Fried eggs were rock solid. Coffee was from a vending machine and pretty grim.

Pros:

The location and how clean it was.

Cons:

2 single beds alongside each other.
The shower wasn’t working properly.
Getting charged for the car park.
