Comfortable, with excellent facilities and attentive hard working staff
Pros:

Very clean hotel with excellent facilities and friendly staff.
Bedroom was of good size with a comfortable bed and well appointed en-suite

Cons:

The property as expected was a little noisey being so close to the road - not complaining as I was aware before booking - but just commenting for others
Grounds were small so couldn’t really walk around after dinner or sit in the sunshine

Ok hotel, clean and comfortable room.
Pros:

Nice pool area and the rooms were clean and functional

Cons:

The second bedroom had a musty smell, the overall hotel is a bit soulless. The receptionist who I called before arrival for reserving dinner reserved a table of 4 instead of 8, as a result we had to find a restaurant last minute on a Saturday evening. Staff at reception and everywhere seems super slow in everything they do.

A pleasant stay at a comfortable hotel
Pros:

The staff are fantastic, especially the front desk staff. Beds are comfortable enough, the breakfast has good options. The pool is great when visiting with kids and my kids request coming to this hotel for this reason, but there were people in the pool just wearing their underwear so perhaps more vigilance/clarity from pool staff would be beneficial here. I was also conscious there were people there as part of a spa package - be aware if you book a package there may well be children there so perhaps not as relaxing as it could be!

Cons:

Room wasn't serviced on our second day (not sure if that's expected or not), but could have done with refills of things like milk/water. Room service had a long wait due to an event on in the event space but the staff were great at recommending ways of getting a delivery etc

It was ok
Pros:

We've stayed here regularly over the last few years & good facilities, free parking & always a good breakfast

Cons:

The main thing I don't like is cancellation fees...in fact its what really puts me off & pisses me off...sometimes they're maybe £30 the next day they can be £80...absolute bollovks why the price differs so much for exactly the same reservation.
I think it would be a good thing for the hotel to reimburse the cancellation fee if the booking is fulfilled...otherwise its just another tax !!
