It is very clean, bedroom number 2024 on second floor (double deluxe) was spacious, nice and warm, beds very comfortable. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room.
Good breakfast. Will return again.
First time staying in the Big Blue, decent hotel but the staff made it really special, was celebrating my 40th birthday and wanted to give a special mention to Dave who was so lovely and made the birthday celebrations special for me and my family
The room was a good size and very clean as was the whole hotel great buffet breakfast plenty of choices also cater to anyone with specific dietary requirements. Will definitely be going back.Only slight problem was mattresses very firm used to mine being a bit softer highly recommend

OK for 1 night
Hotel OK and good location. We thought the breakfast was a rip off at £18 per head. designed for high volume throughput not quality!
We had a lovely stay but did not take advantage of the restaurant etc. however, room was nice and clean. The bed was a little too firm for my liking but I do prefer pillow like mattresses. Other than that, it was great.
Not our first stay at The Big Blue and won’t be our last.
We had 2 double rooms and both were upgraded to deluxe at check in.
The staff work really hard and are very friendly.
Breakfast is amazing!
Stayed for one night which was very enjoyable check in was easy and the room was spacious and nice and clean. Breakfast in the morning was good but above all the staff were polite and friendly we will return again.
