Stayed with my girlfriends in a Ashby Suite, with lovely double room and a lounge with a comfortable sofa bed. It had a kitchen with cooker but only one bathroom so if the person sleeping in the lounge had to use bathroom in the night they had to go through other bedroom where others were sleeping to do their deed.
Ladies at the reception were pleasant and smiley, wouldn’t say the same for bar staff, in the morning went to get some milk so we could enjoy coffee in our suite with milk because there wasn’t any in there (would have been a nice touch seeing as there was coffee and tea there anyway), a barman looked miserable as sin, no good morning no please, no thank you.
Facilities are clean, didn’t eat at hotel so can’t rate the food but it looked fairly busy with older folk.
The downside is that there isn’t much around, to get to town where there are few bars and restaurants, you will pay £10 for a taxi and to return later in the night it will be double that. A little odd thing we found was that to get from our suite to spa we had to walk through the hall, through dining room and bar in our dressing gowns.
In the morning, there was aerobics in the swimming pool and so we weren’t able to enjoy a swim, we weren’t made aware of it at any point upon arrival and I didn’t see any posters there anywhe…
Would we return? We all agreed that most like we wouldn’t but that is not to say that I wouldn’t recommend it to others, perhaps more suitable for older generation though..
