Fantastic Stay for a Baby Shower Event

perfect eventamazing staffburger stationrefrigerator absence
The baby shower in the conservatory was perfect. Joanne listened to every detail and created an lovely experience (I really appreciate that!). The staff was amazing on the day and the BYO burger station offered delicious food. It was a beautifully organised event, thanks to the hard work of the staff.
The absence of a refrigerator in the room was disappointing, especially considering the hotel's rating. Robes and slippers were available only for an additional fee. I think this is an unexpected extra charge.

The hotel provided convenient free parking and a swimming pool, alongside a sauna, contributing positively to our relaxation. The spa facilities were recently upgraded (that was great!).

The room was large with a very modern bathroom. The bedroom was nice and cool and also very quiet. I found that I had a good night's sleep.
The pool area did not have available lockers. I had to take my items poolside. The chlorine levels in the pool were quite high and stung my eyes. I thought some improvements could be made.

the leisure facilities were quite pleasant. our room was lovely and clean with everything we needed for our stay. the atmosphere generated around the entire hotel felt calm and relaxing.
I found no usb ports in the room to plug in my phone charger. the bar service was slow. I had to get my own cutlery. i was told they had no towels at the pool, so i had to retrieve used ones from my room.
