After driving around for 40 minutes trying to find parking, we were in a room with noisy generators outside the window and a store room next door, we had an awful night sleep because of the noisy generator and 3x were woken by staff entering/exiting the store room, talking and unlocking/locking the door. The room was so hot we had the air con on, and it was rattling so loudly every time it started up. Causing us to wake up in the night. The pillows were really flat and bed wasn’t the most comfortable. Other than that we had a lovely time. The room itself was nice, as was the bathroom. Very clean. The breakfast and spa was great.

Really nice rooms and shared spaces. However, this is a bizarrely run hotel - with one of the worst restaurants/bar services I've ever experienced (incredibly busy but slow and uninterested staff, with restaurant management standing around not helping), and the pool is a paid extra (which has to be booked in advance) despite not disclosing this anywhere on the Expedia booking page. Pretty poor.

The property was understaffed in all areas. Once we'd finished our meal there wasn't an area for us to continue drinking! We were told we could go outside. There had just been a heavy thunderstorm! Other areas where we'd sat during previous visits were closed! Same scenario later that night. This hotel used to be comfortable and accommodating. Shame, because we've been coming here for years and each time we come, it gets. worse.

The property itself is nice and the rooms presented well. Car parking is poor with limited spaces and damaged surfaces. Breakfast was not managed well during a power cut with diners waiting being told they may need to evacuate so no one was shown to their seats.
