Facilities were good, the bar food served was appetising. The accommodations we were provided had very outdated decor and the windows were blown out so there was no view and reduced light. I will not return.

Room cleaning could be improved - our rubbish bin was not emptied and was overflowing, beds were not made. There was no box of tissues in our room but my son's room had one. Other than that, everything was very good.

Really lovely stay. Friendly and professional at reception. Room for family for four was perfect. Facilities wise we went to the Strike Shack for the driving range and bought 50 balls to play around with which was really fun and also visited the pool twice during our stay. Great to have the family swim times as felt comfortable to be amongst other parents and young children in the pool. Overall a really lovely stay.

Don't be fooled by the reception image!! Arrived at 9.15 after being stuck on the M25 for an hour then had local road closures due to the flooding, nobodies fault but I would have thought the hotel would have been a little more welcoming given the road closures. Room was tired, noisy and on par with a poor dated Travel Lodge.
