my parents and friends stayed here at the weekend - june 15th. I feel awful beacuse i recommened it without checking the tripadvisor site. The rooms that were allocated to my parents i would say was shameful for the price - £70.00 a night. it was basically a small cupboard with a wet room that kept flooding. There was tape... More

We stayed with a group of friends on Saturday 8th June. Staff were friendly and efficient, rooms were clean (although the bathrooms do need updating), the shower was powerful and breakfast was more than we expected. For the price this is good value for money. The pool itself is lovely although parts of the hotel are a little 'tired'. Having... More

After having read a large number of negative comments we were really worried about staying at this hotel! We were however quite pleasantly surprised! Now don't get me wrong this place is no 5* star resort but for the price we paid it was value for money! Room: a strange little room but usable! The bed was very clean and... More

There is a large swimming pool, and various exercise rooms, all undergoing refurbishment. It has a bar with no real ales and a restaurant which closes early, and which is under an exercise room, so you eat to the sound of thudding feet and inappropriate music. No complaints about the food which is good, reasonably priced, and sometimes inventive and... More

The other reviews for this hotel are spot on. No complaints about the staff they were friendly, helpful & sympathetic to our concerns about the rooms. The bar area, dining room & food were ok but leisure club facilities and rooms very tired and in need of major refurbishment which we understand is only planned for the gym area. The... More

This place is confused. The gym side is well catered for with plans to spend 1.5 million on the refurb, but I hope at least some of that is going on the rooms as mine was atrocious. The beds were from the'60's, the shower/toilet room cramped and full of obstructions and the furniture generally poor. The shower had a repetitive... More

The staff were OK, although did appear to be used to complaints. The breakfast was OK. But the room, oh, the room... How they could fit so many bad things into such a tiny, claustrophobic room is amazing. Both the bedroom and bathroom were tatty & in poor repair. The shower was broken and the tap dribbled all night. There... More

I've stayed in 300+ hotels......and some have been worse than this. But they've been the hotels that promise little, such as Etaps or seaside b+bs. However this hotel promises a lot on its website, with lush photos of the riverside views and luxury pool.......but the reality is very different. I'm going to start with a positive. The staff are lovely.... More
