Comfortable bed and room. Facilities good, pool, jacuzzi snooker table and spa. Staff very helpful and pleasant. Catered for my allergy, even had gluten biscuits in bedroom- lovely touch.
People with dogs in hotel.…
the staff and the vibe were very nice
the dinner was a bit dry and breakfast could be better by having more options.
The grounds were beautiful and the food at the restaurant was delicious the facilities were a bit run down but still lovely
In some areas needs a bit of refurb like the doors to the rooms and the floors were lovely but…
Lovely sized room and bathroom.
Noise from above sounded like the gym was above our room.
Having to book for breakfast!! The dining experience was not great, breakfast was 7:45 to 10, but you had to pick your breakfast time on arrival, which rolled over every day. No lie ins and come down as you wanted here.…
How dog friendly it was! Like that’s a must for pet owners who can’t leave their pets at home ! Got a little break for ourselves and the dogs enjoyed every bit of it !
The only thing needed is a cold shower next to sauna

Please note, at certain times of day, the swimming pool is reserved for adults only. Our pool is open to everyone Monday - Thursday all day and on Friday - Sundays is restricted to no children after 12:00pm, unless they are a hotel guest or member. Please note that The Natural Health Spa is closed on Mondays. Some rooms can accommodate dogs for an additional fee of GBP 20 per dog per night. Please confirm availability with the property prior to making your reservation. Guests are required to show a photo ID and credit card upon check-in.

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.

Nothing to do with the booking above. The same market, priced the same way, for if this one is not it.
