I’ve been attending a hospital nearby and this hotel has been a great find. Having a pool to relax next to is great! We’ve now been twice this year (July and September). The pool is open to paying members of the public too so it was quite busy in July but we still had no issues with getting a sun lounger. I believe the pool is closed from October through to March. The staff are friendly in the hotel and at the pool bar. The breakfast buffet is nice and you are welcome to help yourself to as much as you would like. The room is spacious and we’ve had the same room on both visits which has a wrap around balcony, looking onto the pool. The bed is comfy, there is a fridge and air conditioning. Some areas are a bit run down and need updating (the phone doesn’t work, the shower head won’t sit in the holder, the walls of the shower are coming away from the wall and the toilet leaks). These in my opinion are minor inconveniences and wouldn’t put me off staying again. When you go out you leave your room key with the reception staff. At first I felt a bit strange doing this but I think it helps with visitors losing keys and also makes them aware of who is in the building in the event of a fire. If the air conditioning doesn’t come on in your room, you probably need ask the reception staff to turn it on for you. The road outside is very busy so you need to be careful crossing. There is a supermarket and pizza place directly across the road and an ice cream shop next door. There are a selection of coffee shops, restaurant (tennis club) and a lovely garden centre all within walking distance.
