Great stay with family for fathers day. We ate at all of the restaurants, all were super, but the breakfast really must be the best I have ever had in the UK. Grounds and activities were all great too.

It's an excellent hotel for a family getaway. The staff were super friendly, the food was fantastic, the outdoor pool was heated, and the activities were great! Our only complaint was that the beds were a little uncomfortable. This was especially the case for the kids' sofa bed and temp bed. Our kids are 11 and 13, so they may be too old for these sorts of things.

Service was below standard and negatively impacted the trip. We had to wait 30 min for coffee and order completely wrong (the manager kindly comped our bill), but then that night our waitress didn’t write down the order, half got messed up, and kids pasta etc came 20+ minutes after we finished eating! Unacceptable. Bbq lunch was inedible; 22£ for a burger that had been sitting out easily for an hour, Rooms allocated were the farthest possible from everything - our group was two families w toddlers. Incredibly inconvenient. Price point was good but would not come back due to too many issues.
