Pros:

Very comfy bed, ideal location, grounds are superb if you're travelling with a dog like we were, staff were very friendly and very handy location. We are repeat guests.

Cons:

Bathroom is clean but very compact. Likely wise to go for a larger room (with hopefully a larger bathroom) with more space for the dog at night on the cooler floors.

Lovey spa break for two, I'd recommend.
Pros:

Although the block we were in looked a bit dormitory. Inside was clean and well presented. Lovey decor and facilities. Could always use a fridge for milk in the morning. The only thing missing. Spa was lovely! Clean and peaceful we had the place to ourselves Sunday afternoon! Dinner was good. Cauliflower a bit chewy but everything else was delicious. Breakfast was well presented if the sausages were nothing special.

Cons:

Nothing staff went above and beyond friendly and helpful. Thanks for making us feel welcome

It could have been better but I would definitely try again. The set up of the room spoilt things.
Pros:

Lovely hotel in a great location. Staff were excellent

Cons:

I was travelling with my elderly mum and had booked a twin room. When we arrived I was told that there was only a double room available. The hotel offered to put a temp single bed in the room. This made the room very over crowded and difficult to navigate.

For the price paid I expect much better.
Pros:

Leisure facilities were good, staff friendly, good choice of breakfast. Beds were very comfy. The restaurant food was passable

Cons:

Garden wing is awful. Doesn't show up on their property map on the website - for good reason. I could cope with the outside of the building looking drab. But the rooms are not great. The bathroom door was rotten, the bathroom looked grubby, the windows were rotten. No Aircon. There was a wedding on and their was not enough staff to cope with the other customers and the wedding - the other customers were not informed on arrival that this could be the case. Because of this their bar was over run, I couldn't get the cocktail I wanted. Basically very poor planning on the managers part.
