2 night stay in a hotel that seems to change it's name every year! I can't find anything to complain about. Everything worked, the bed was comfy, the breakfast was plentiful and the staff were good. I suppose the only thing I would advise is to try the Carriers Arms in South Marston for an evening meal rather than the... More

Had 2 nights break here, xmas present. Lovely hotel & staff, well presented bedrooms & public rooms. Spa area brilliant, massage absolutely superb.Restaurant is very pricey, hence hardly anybody using it. Good pubs locally to eat at though. Breakfast service was a bit slow & Waitresss not appropriately dressed. More

Just back from a 2 day all inc break, we all enjoyed it very much( 2 couples) Rooms were large and the bed huge and comfortable. Flat screen tv and air con/heater. Shower screen for the bath was a bit of a waste of space as the water leaked underneath it. But no problem to mop up. We used the... More

We arrived for a 2 night all inclusive break last weekend for a Valentines get away. Very friendly & informative reception at check in. Told us we had to use our towels from the room in the spa which is fine. Went to our room which was number 45. It was a good standard, nice big bed, flat screen tv,... More

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights - 10th & 11th Feb 2012. We found the hotel easily following sign posts and found the hotel to be of good standard. The receptionists were friendly and welcoming. On arrival our room was extremley warm with outside temps hitting -9.5 on the 2nd night, and snow on the ground, despite this... More

The hotel is depressing. The restaurant meals are very average and the service extremely poor. We were there for just the one night; not an experience that I would want to repeat. More

Room was clean and was well stocked with essentials for team/coffee making. All the staff where very friendly and helpful. The food was... More

When we initially booked we were told all rooms had been refurbished which upon our arrival we found not to be the case. We were allocated to room 19 - not refurbed, stale/musty smelling and quite dated. This was not the room advertised on the website. We were told there were no refurbed rooms available. After 10 mins of deliberation... More

I had a problem when checking out: I was obliged to pay in Euros when I insisted to be invoiced in Pounds. Because of the scandalous exchange rate, I paid an extra20€. I complained twice to the General Manager, Mr Hasan Ozdal, but no proposal to compensate the loss, not even a reply! More

It really seems people either love or hate this hotel reading other reviews. My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights in Feb and overall the stay was enjoyable. I can't dispute what others say about their rooms, but the room we had (31) was fine, comfortable and had everything we needed. The pool and spa etc was also... More
