Staff make this hotel especially the reception team and dining staff on the evening shift. Got a complimentary upgrade, which is always welcome, dining at the evening food was cooked fresh, hot, helpful staff no complaints. Hotel rooms were very comfy, bright on the riverside of the hotel, lovely toiletries. Will return on the back of how welcoming the staff were.

Hotel was comfortable, room larger than expected & shown in photos. Rooms overlooking the car park can be a little noisy, and affected by the smell of smoke, but that is due to inconsiderate people rather than a hotel issue!

We were staying overnight before a cruise coach pick up. I didn't realize how early we would be picked up as we had booked breakfast. The staff kindly ensured we could get some take out cold breakfast and hot drinks as we were leaving before the breakfast opened. This was really helpful to us. It was so convenient to be able to leave the car there for a supplement.

Breakfast was good selection, but no mugs. Asked once and they had already been taken by other guests before we could get one. Cold drinks were very disappointing. Kids pool was great with jacuzzi, steam room and sauna - amazing bonus. Evening food was fab. Kids eat free, this should be advertised more. Room was what it was described as and clean, tidy and comfortable. Would be nice if kids bedroom area was in a seperate area.
