The luxury room was refurbished so was in lovely condition. The pool and playground are in bad shape. In the photos they look in great condition but they need an upgrade, especially for how much you pay for the facilities.
This was our first time staying at this property, and we were very impressed. We stayed in a suite and found the check-in process to be quick and easy. It was also convenient to find a parking space close to our room, and we appreciated the range of facilities on offer.
The staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. The room was exceptionally clean, and the spa bath was more like a spa pool, which was a fantastic bonus. The underfloor heating added an extra touch of comfort and made our stay even more enjoyable.
Breakfast was simple but very tasty. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again.
We were thoroughly surprised with the spaciousness off the room as well as the updated and modern feel of the fixtures! It made for a really stress free and relaxing atmosphere after a day of sightseeing.
The staff were equally communicative, friendly, and professional. We took full advantage of the in suite washing machine, tennis court, and ping pong table.
We would definitely stay here again!
This is a wonderful place with a lot of amenities. Though with kids playing miniature golf and yelling around the pool — all in the central area — it can be noisy in the rooms.
The room was clean and very spacious. The staff was very friendly and helpful

This is misleading as it is more a motel than a 5 -star resort. However , the staff and the services are good. The kitchen was well equipped and good amenities but it is important to describe properly the installation for guests expectation
Room was really clean and well presented, the spa bath is super clean and very easy to use a great way to relax after being out exploring the Forest.
Would highly recommend staying for a couple weekend away or as a family lots to do.
