Think they were struggling to deal with number of guests and check in on the Sunday. They were however trying hard. Unde
Pros:

Comfortable bedroom. Dinner quality good. Staff helpful

Cons:

Check in on the bank holiday Sunday was slow and verging on chaotic. Waited over 20 minutes. No towels available at pool. They had run out.

Pros:

Staff very nice. Food in bar good, great breakfast, pool facilities good.

Cons:

4pm check in especially when only doing 1 night (and with kids). The kids playroom was grubby and dark....could do with a serious make-over and clean. As a 5 star id say it's very much low - mid range in 5 star category.

Disappointed
Pros:

Room was great ..large room comfy bed great bathroom

Cons:

Hotel too busy and customer service lacking ..sent a request 3 days prior to arrival for late checkout and got no reply ..i mentioned it at check in and the gentleman apoligised and i also got an email of apology which i appreciated but felt a bit let down by the lack of prompt response..also booked a table for dinner but was told no table available in main dining area and was forced to sit in the bar area which really defeated the purpose of booking in advance ..however the most wonderful waiter called dawson saved the day wigh his excellent customer service, chat and kindness

Would not recommend, doesn’t come across as a 5 star hotel.
Pros:

The bed/pillows is the only thing we liked.

Cons:

The garden room restaurant.
The hotel rang me Thursday to book a time for dinner. We were then told the only table they had for our booking was up at the high side of the bar. Why bother ringing to book in a time if they can’t even keep a table in the restaurant side? To say it was the most overstimulating experience ever is not even an understatement. We asked could we be moved when a table became available but we weren’t. Between the noise from people have drinks watching the rugby, to the glasses clinking off each other behind the bar and the BANGING off cutlery being replaced, we could genuinely not enjoy our food. We had to bring our dessert to our room just to get out of there. This section of the garden rooms should only be kept for those having drinks - NOT for food.
The service of the staff in the garden rooms was very slow. We were waiting ages for our dessert and asked one of the waiters who said he would go and check straight away but we watched him just go behind the bar serving drinks?
Honestly, I really don’t know how this is a 5 star hotel as it’s very basic.
