Staff were extremely helpful, room was good, but the Saturday night dinner was inedible - it looked and tasted as though it had been cooked days before

Stayed in the Townhouse. Clean fresh decor in entrance and room was bright and comfortable.
Staff friendly, polite and helpful.
Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice.
The cottage at the hotel was great for us as a family of 5. It meant we had plenty of space but also use of hotel facilities as well - best of both worlds.
