Very pleasant
Pros:

Large room, parking, WIFI, staff lovely, lovely grounds & hotel

Cons:

Not much of a choice for Dinner, especially as one guest needed plain food.
Breakfast was a bit dried up at the Buffet and next morning it was cleared away and you had to order. Nice sausages though.

Todo en general. La limpieza de la habitación.Había incluso dos botellas de agua de cortesía. La tranquilidad y silencio. Su jardin, con hortensias expectaculares. Y, por supuesto, su magnífico desayuno con productos de calidad.

Pros:

Comfortable bed. Shower. Air con. Gym facilities

Cons:

Poor choice at dinner on 2nd night. Extractor fan failure meant most of menu off. No discount offered which was disappointing. Swimming pool slow lane unusable due to kids and other leisure swimmers. Morning trip when no kids was good

Improved accommodation and dining
Pros:

There was plenty of parking and the rooms were spacious. There was no queueing at meal times. Restaurant and bar staff were friendly and attentive.
The decor has improved since our last stay.

Cons:

Reception staff were not welcoming. I do not think the charge to use the spa was fair, especially as the facilities were basic.
