Outstanding stay here. The hotel is lovely, so clean and new. The breakfast in particular was fantastic, a full fresh selection and lots of gluten free options. Honestly everything was great, staff were all exceptional and the facilities were also fantastic.
3rd visit and never disappointed.
Always clean rooms, clean facilities, quiet location and clean hotel.

Great experience here. Spa and pool were excellent and large, great food options both at dinner and breakfast. Evening food was slightly pricey but excellent quality so fair really.

Room was good. Breakfast was good. Reason why 3 stars, family ( with kids ) basically can't use pool as after 10am no kids allowed which is not great :/
Really pleased meeting up with family. Have family usually stay there and were also starting there at sands time. Really nice place nice pool steam room sauna. Even says outside free bike hire. Free parking and lovely breakfast.
Overall we had a nice stay with our young children. The hotel is more corporate than family friendly. Very rule focused on making sure children are well behaved especially in the swimming pool and was reminded to stop my three year old not to occasionally scream in the pool fron excitement which dampened our experience.
Nice breakfast and friendly restaurant staff. Reception staff could be more inviting. Rooms were clean and of a good standard.
Also am wondering how long it will take for us to get our £75 deposit back that we had to pay on arrival.
Lovely quiet comfortable room. However car park full on arrival. Overflow car park hard to find as not signposted anywhere, not even in the car park itself.
