Relaxing Stay with Excellent Service

excellent service dinner options comfortable bed
The staff provided excellent customer service throughout my stay! Josh in the restaurant was very helpful. Annie in the bar offered great dinner options and kept the table engaged. She is a real asset to the hotel. I found the bed very comfortable and the shower was a generous size.
I found that some of the gym equipment felt dated.
Dining
8/10
Breakfast offered classic buffet fare including sausage, bacon, tomato, beans, hash browns, cereals, fruit, and pastries. The restaurant provided a £25 allowance towards the main menu or a three-course meal from the golf menu, offering varied choices. The service was a bit slow.
