Hotel has been refurbished since I was last there so facilities were good & modern and clean.
Big portions of food!

Complicated charge system for wi-fi internet - why not make it free to guests!

Smart, clean, modern hotel.

Evening (buffet) dinner was a disgrace - Only pork available as they had run out of beef....by 8pm!
Drinks were a little bit on the expensive side.

Conveniently located

Food is below standards expected. Room service food is 'cool' upon arrival in the room.
Sharon from Canterbury, GB (Solo leisure traveller) 27 August 2008
A very short stay, one night to attend a wedding at the hotel, however everything I could have needed after a very long journey was at my fingertips on arrival, including a smoked salmon starter, I thought I would have a small snack to keep me going until reception time. When my 'snack' arrived I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the portion, but thankfully was up to the task!

Large room, comfortably furnished and has a finished, comfortable feel to it. Bathroom spotlessly clean. Space to spread out and relax.

The only bad point would be noise from the hallway - there was poor sound proofing around the door area and consequently you could hear people talking etc as they walked past.

Excellent hotel in a lovely setting. Could not fault the room

Have to go outside to reach the spa and leisure facilities. Not a problem in summer but not so good in winter. Dangerous jacuzzi-when the bubbles are working you cannot see where the step down is and as there is no hand rail to hold on to it is DANGEROUS-a real safety matter. BEWARE

Loved the colour scheme, room had everything I needed.

Shower head had only 1 direction....everywhere. So bathroom got very wet.

The hotel was excellent for our purposes. The room was comfortable and quiet, and staff were friendly and helpful. We were able to find access to the running trail through the golf course, although this was not mentioned anywhere in the literature. Also the adjacent woodlands which extended to Broughton and beyond were excellent for running and walking.

Nice quiet room with comfortable bed, and good facilities. Easy access to running trail and adjacent woodland trails. Helpful and friendly staff.
Andy from Trowbridge, GB (Solo business traveller) 07 November 2007
The hotel delivered everything I expected it to, as seen beforehand on their website. A very professional experience throughout with clearly well trained & caring staff - the breakfast 'team' were really excellent from Manager to staff.
My only concern was the level of room noise which made me adopt my earplugs, this was particularly concerning as the primary purpose of a hotel for me is to actually be able to sleep well. Apart from that a great value for money experience.
(97476686)

The hotel location was ideal for easy access from the motorway to and from the town, with ample parking (not always easy in some city hotels). Loved the restaurant facilities (made breakfast & dinner very simple & quick), also great to have the swimming pool on site.

My room although positioned on 2nd floor appeared a quiet location, however was constantly disturbed by 'mechanical noise (heating or air system?), also biggest gripe you constantly hear other room doors closing loudly - doors appear to have hydraulic closers however have lack of 'cushion seals' to stop the 'wood on wood' clunk. (other top hotels I have used in Europe have their doors better protected against this noise).
I also found the bathroom sink far too low (but I am 6'5), and also a bit small (the large tap blocked a lot of access).

The evening meal we had in the restaurant was very disappointing and not at all what we would expect in a 4 star hotel. We did make a complaint to the restaurant manager who did agree with us. As the hotel is sited a few miles from town it would put us off returning.

The accommodation was very clean, modern, spacious & satisfying.

the evening meal was very disappointing
David from Sudbury, GB (Mature couple) 17 October 2007
Having stayd there before we had a fair idea of what it was like but we did notice that the cost of an evening meal seems to have increased with the change of ownership for the same standard of food, which was very good.

Overall the hotel delivered to it's four star rating.
(97010797)

The staff were extremely professional and polite, the bedroom was comfortable and nicely presented the public areas of the hotel were appealing and relaxed, the breakfast was very nice also.

The road noise was a little bit disturbing, the bar prices were on the high side.

Overall it was excellent but a couple of things worthy of mention - Bed was too firm; chips served as room service were cold and soggy and should never have been let out of the kitchen - that said the complaint was dealt with promptly and the bill adjusted; TV frequently changed channels of it's own accord; room service menu could be much improved with a greater variety of choice; restaurant menu didn't inspire us to eat there and we felt we had to find somewhere mid-range away from the hotel. No mini bar available.

Attentiveness of staff. Cleanliness & tidiness of hotel. Very large bed.

Large light airy reception area and restuarant. Wonderful leisure centre including facilities for manicure etc. Superb golf course including practise range. Very pleasant staff and lastly superb good sized rooms. As I stay overnight prior to a busy working day all these things allow me to completely unwind ready for next day. I can honestly say on my business travels it's the nicest hotel I've stayed in.

Lived up to its 4 star rating, very pleasantly surprised considering the many hotels I have stayed in before. For a modern hotel building it managed to keep a personal feel, rather than production line accommodation.

Very comfortable hotel, really nice rooms, super bathroom.

Food in the hotel is a disaster, eat on my first night in the bar/dining room attached to the golf club, unfortunately it had just opened same day . Staff were at sixes and sevens, no one appeared to know what they were supposed to be doing and the managers on the scene did not help either. I ordered a simple haddock and chips from the menu, the meal was barely edible. But , since it was the first day open it can only improve.
All of the staff were nice and polite - but the food was awful.
Dined on my second night in the main hotel restaurant - food was just about adequate - no stars for quality.
Mike from West Bromwich, GB (Solo business traveller) 27 March 2007
The staff were very friendly and helpfull, the food was as good as Ive had anywhere,the cleanliness of the hotel was first class. I am just sorry I did not get the chance to play golf as the course looked stunning.Will visit for pleasure next time.

Employees were very professional and accomodating. Great Golf Course and health facilities.

The heat in our room did not turn on until the morning of the day we checked out. We informed the hotel front desk and the only person who came to our room was the nice the bell hop instead of an engineer. Staff was informed several times of this problem.
