Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff were polite & helpful.
Room was very clean.
I was fortunate to get a room upgrade to the Drift in, so was much spacious than expected.
Information was non existent trying to find someone to ask was also non existent it’s ok having self service check in but more signs are needed to indicate where rooms are not have sign hidden behind reception desk. Food was excellent
friendly staff especially Hannah in reservations who dealt with our amended booking. The bed was very comfy and cosy.
Breakfast was a bit disappointing- only one style of eggs - scrambled. Dinner was also very rushed with the preordered food being rushed out. Games facilities were good fun. An enjoyable stay
A nice property which was clean with ample space for storage.
A nice room though quite hot without Aircon, though there was a fan. The reception area was spacious with lots of amenities and friendly staff.
The room was very warm even though the fan was on.
The vegetarian dish halloumi salad had lots of olives which wasn’t mentioned on menu. All the staff were very efficient
Breakfast a bit pricey.
Staying in the area for a wedding. Bed was comfortable, room is clean, staff are very friendly and helpful. Checked in late but was not an issue. Bar and restaurant hours were limited so we weren’t unable to use.

Really enjoyed our stay. Lovely and clean. Staff very helpful overall a pleasant stay
Lovely, clean room. It is on the small side but enough for solo traveller. Nice hotel. Spacious lobby. Good signposting to rooms. Free coffee on arrival. Only issue - no hot water. Rang to sort it out but went to voicemail so had cold shower.
Coffee machines in the corridors are a winner much easier than messing with a kettle on the room. Hotel is spotless, standard room was a little small for two people.
Will be back!
I visited the Willows Centre for a work conference. It is a fantastic business venue. High quality and a lovely environment. I stayed a nigh and the room was to a high standard and very quiet. I'd be very happy to visit when not for a work conference. There isn't anything I wasn't extremely happy with.
