Abbey Stadium

Overall, I had a wonderful stay. The room could have done with some updating or deeper cleaning, particularly the carpet, and the bathroom could have done with a good scale removal and/or deep clean of the tile grouting and the far end of the tiles surrounding the swimming pool in the spa had a large number of dead bees around it, which made me curious as to how often this was monitored and cleaned. BUT… The room was comfortable, the bedding and towels were clean and comfortable, and towels were changed daily. There was a good selection of tea/coffee and biscuits, which were also topped up daily. The stand out here were the food and bar/restaurant staff. Both were outstanding. The two evening meals I had were top quality, there was a good selection of wine and I had a very well made Old Fashioned, The cooked breakfast was delicious - no real need to bother with the continental IMO, but sure it’s a good choice for others. The staff overall were all friendly and helpful, the hotel itself was set in wonderful surroundings and the gym and spa facilities were great to have access too.

Good location, clean, comfortable. Lovely staff
