Pros:

The spacious bedroom and cleanliness of the room

Cons:

Breakfast. Coffee machine not working, well only partly. Position if coffee machine and the cold drinks, too many people in one place. The choice of bread wasn't good, could do lots better especially with good local bread.
Crockery, had to keep asking for what we needed.

Very warm welcome
Pros:

Staff very welcoming and helpful.

Cons:

At 6.00pm the hotel bar was overwhelmed with around 200 people arriving at the same time. So with a 15min+ wait at the bar, a quick peaceful drink wasn't possible. It was just unfornate our visit coincided with this event.

Perfect family getaway.

Clean, good air conditioning, staff very welcoming.

Pros:

The room size. The gym and spa were great.

Cons:

The staff at breakfast didn’t know what they were doing. We weren’t informed at breakfast about the additional menu which we could order from. When we did we weren’t told they had ran out of pancake mix until after they delivered one serving for one child when two had been ordered! That didn’t go down well with the second child. We offered porridge, one with water and one with milk. When they serviced it they didn’t know which was which. When I complained to the manager about the service they said they’d have a word but won’t give me eye contact. Also, only one coffee machine for the entire hotel wasn’t enough especially one as slow as that one! Queues 5 people deep is not fun.

Doubt if we will return
Pros:

It was good air conditioning. Most seats rather low. Friendly and courteous

Cons:

The suite was rather “tired”. Some towels frayed. No cushions on balcony chairs. No lights on balcony Needs a good clean and paint ing rails. No bin for debris from tea and coffee facilities. Room service as we were after bar closed very limited and very expensive. The suite was the furthest from the lift. Air conditioning had to be programmed. No instructions. There was a Prim celebration on with hoards of teenagers taking over the whole bar space and photo shoots I. The outer spaces. We ended up going out to Marlow for dinner with friends. In return it was hard to get back into the reception and the lavatories were disgraceful.

Our group of 8 all enjoyed their stay and would like to stay there again
Pros:

Reception staff, Dinesh and his colleague were very helpful and efficient.

Room was very comfortable

Breakfast was excellent, our family group of 8 adults ate in the restaurant both nights and enjoyed the food and had excellent service.

Cons:

Television in bar area was very loud. We were staying at the hotel with family and it was difficult to relax and chat even during the lunchtime and early afternoon
