This is quite a difficult hotel to review. We arrived in torrential rain - the hotel has a very long approach road which was mostly underwater. Not flooded but concealed. The water hid the speed bumps which came as a shock in a heavily loaded van. I think these could be painted white and the road better drained. However, the hotel has signage, which is not lit. We, and other guests, could not find the reception. This is probably ok on a summer evening but in the dark, with torrential rain, it requires improvement. When we made it inside the hotel there was no signage to reception. But, having finally found reception the reception area was recently refurbished, the staff brilliant, and understanding of our inability to navigate. Staff on the bar were great but restaurant lead was rude and unhelpful. He told us as we hadn’t booked or prepaid, we couldn’t have a table. In a half empty restaurant. Fortunately a fellow guest offered us his table. Bar staff were lovely. The site is huge, some new rooms, some older. Ours was a fantastic design but marked by signs of mould. But maybe just in need of a refresh. The receptionist told us a lot of maintenance takes place at this time of year. We were disappointed that the TV didn’t work, due to signal problems. But we had ipad with us so used that. The hotel is made up of many areas, all with their own parking, so I would suggest navigating to Reception before choosing a parking space and unloading your luggage.
