This was an on route stop over. Reviews were average, and that kind of sums it up really. Some photos make it look a lot better than it is. We booked DBB, to keep it simple for 1 night. DInner on Friday night was a buffet- not ideal, Luke warm food, choice very limited, so not ideal. I did see later other tables ordering from a menu, so it might have been the DBB option, but I’d have liked a better choice. Pudding they has sticky toffee pudding with a sauce, but ice cream was extra! 🙄 Breakfast better, although pastries were very dry. So ok if your into golf, but if not I’d give a miss.

Ok

The interior decor was weathered - grubby carpets and decor needed refresh. The mini fridge in the room didn’t work and we had to ask twice for a replacement. The corridors always had room service trays laying around awaiting collection for hours. We ordered a £12 dessert platter for 2 upon arrival and received a tiny plate of finger nibbles!

The hotel is in a lovely setting and our room was clean and very spacious. Reception staff could have been more friendly and helpful, information wasn't volunteered and they tried to avoid eye contact when anyone approached the desk to ask something. Spa treatments were good with a nice relaxation space but the pool had children's swimming lessons both days we were there so not a place to relax. Restaurant was very disappointing so we avoided after the first evening meal and breakfast. We were told that there was only a buffet available for £35 when we arrived at the restaurant, an expensive fish and chips, we certainly didn't want 3 courses but we're not given a choice. It is a captive market and after a long drive we did not want to venture out again so had little choice. Staff were scarce and slow in taking our drinks order and to clear plates between courses but many members of waiting staff appeared out of nowhere to sing Happy Birthday to someone at another table. We also soon discovered that others in the restaurant were able to order a la carte which we would have much preferred. The jerk chicken was nice but not served with rice and peas. Rest of the food was average. We walked to the Bull pub in Meriden the next day and the food and staff there were excellent.

A nice visit in great surroundings, but with venue inside now looking a bit dated. Staff collecting plates/crockery/cutlery a matter of seconds after finishing breakfast was not great .. and happened 3-4 times. Not ideal in what is meant to be a quality venue.

Lovely hotel although could do with a little tlc in places, pool was too cold for us but other than that steam room & sauna were fantastic. Restaurant menu was pricey but the 3 course buffet option was fantastic offer at £35pp. Would love to return as perfect place to stay when visiting the bp pulse live/nec, took under 15 mins to get back from show
