Would only stay again on weekdays during term time when the pool is probably quieter
Pros:

The pool would have been really nice but they do day passes for people not staying at the hotel so it was extremely busy with lots of kids in it all day. Great for kids and day visitors but not great for people staying at the hotel for a relaxing pool break. You couldn't get in the water as it was full of kids. It's probably fine on weekdays during term time but we went during summer holidays so it spoilt it for us as we only went because it had a pool

Cons:

The pool would have been really nice but they do day passes for people not staying at the hotel so it was extremely busy with lots of kids in it all day. Great for kids and day visitors but not great for people staying at the hotel for a relaxing pool break. You couldn't get in the water as it was full of kids jumping in and splashing about. It's probably quieter on weekdays during term time but we went during summer holidays so it spoilt it for us as we only went because it had a pool. Also food was quite expensive and £3.00 for a packet of crisps was a bit extortionate.

Ok for an overnight stop
Pros:

Spacious room, plenty of parking, friendly staff.

Cons:

Breakfast was an expensive option. Shower was hit and miss getting it to work at a decent temperature. Although the room was tidy it felt a little tired.

Poor Customer Experience
Pros:

We had paid to use the pool and have some drinks and something to eat. Sadly we left after an hour. When we arrived for our booked session at 3 pm. We were told to wait outside the hotel and form a queue. We were not allowed to have a drink in the bar whilst we were waiting for our pool session. Upon entering we were subjected to a bag search and told to go through the hotel. I had to ask a member of staff where to go as I hadn’t been before. Upon reaching the pool I was surprised how small the pool was and lack of sunloungers or comfortable seating. After purchasing a drink at the bar proceed to the terrace tables. Shortly afterwards we were told to move by a member of staff saying this area was reserved for guests staying at the hotel despite the area being completely empty.
We also found that food would not be served until an hour and a half into our session.
We were made to feel like second class citizens. We had paid to use the pool and were purchasing refreshments from the hotel but sadly the hotel did not feel our custom was important enough to extend to common courtesy and comfort. Safe to say we will not be returning to the hotel..

Nice enough for a one night stay
Pros:

Restaurant and bar areas nice modern and clean

Cons:

Room was abit dated. Sofa bed uncomfortable. Wasn’t told about a wedding being held and didn’t feel like we could use the pool as the wedding party had vertically taken over the outside area.
Also gluten free pizza was ok but probably a frozen one.

Ruined by pool rules not being enforced
Pros:

Lovely staff could not have been more helpful. Nice hotel

Cons:

The pool was open to the public which we didn’t know when we booked . Due to heat it was overcrowded with children. Babies without nappies in pool , kids jumping and on inflatables in a small packed pool despite signs but there was no one to enforce any of the rules . I had a ball thrown at me and got abused by the mother . Not the quiet break I had hoped for . Also charged me £13 for one piece of toast with an egg is ridiculous .
