An enjoyable overnight stay. Room was lovely and the huge bed comfortable. All staff were friendly and helpful. The swimming pool was beautiful. Breakfast was self service with a wide choice of hot and cold foods. Check out was 12.00 so there was no rush.

Booked for work, contractors stay over. Telly didnt work in our allocated room, staff immediately tried to sotr it, when they couldnt, had no issues moving us straight away. Rooms slightly dated, but plenty of space, clean and very comfortable. If the price remains the same, will be looking at the queensgate first in the area.
