"Lovely property, breakfast good, lots of choice. Walls a bit thin, could hear person next door snoring. Windows were heavy and propped open with wood, husband had to lift up to remove the wood. Room was clean. To turn the taps on, they were the wrong way round Shower pipe was leaking but still had good pressure. Would stay again"

"Good stop just off the M6. Travelling with a dog and baby we were given a really good sized ground floor room within easy reach of the car park (which is large and free if you enter your reg at the desk). Room service comes in the form of ordering at the bar to be delivered to your room - food from the restaurant was decent albeit one order was wrong and some extras were missing so had to return to the bar to request them. Didn't use the pool/spa facilities but they looked good!"
