really good stay

fine grounds outdoor pool friendly staff convenient location
The grounds are fine, and the outdoor pool is beautiful. i found the staff friendly and helpful. The tennis court and pool room were great for activities, but they do get busy, so bookings are essential. the front desk staff was amazing, and i really appreciate their assistance. the location was convenient for exploring nearby attractions.
The spa and sauna close early at 5:30 p.m., requiring a trip to another area to use. I wanted to use them after a day of exploring.
Location

The hotel is close to echo point. A short walk allows easy access to the three sisters. several shops and restaurants are nearby, and the convenient bus journey from the train station stops right outside the hotel entrance.
Rooms

My beautiful double room view had good shower, a separate bath, nice products, and kettles. the room featured comfortable furnishings with design that nods to the building's history. The separate lounge area was spacious and useful.
Facilities

The hotel offers both indoor and outdoor pools. The outdoor heated pool was particularly enjoyable. a games room is available, complete with a full size snooker table and chess. Underground and overground parking are both included.

a somewhat dated stay

lush gardens friendly staff small gym room updating
the gardens are nice. i saw beautiful plants and well kept lawns. the staff was friendly, offering assistance with directions. it made navigating the grounds easy. breakfast includes many options. i ate fresh fruit and hot dishes at Darley's restaurant.
the gym is very small with little equipment. i only saw two treadmills and one stationary bike. the room need updating and didn't have a minibar. it did feel a bit old.
