10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel, bar area was nice and spacious with comfortable seating. Was able to work from there for a couple of hours without being disturbed. Gym had all the kit you need to do some exercises, including weights, rower, runner, bike machine. Room was a great size and so was the bed, lovely shower. Parking was a bit steep, think I paid £16 for 24 hours."
