    "The interent connection wasn't very good - couldn't access it in my room in the morning so had to log on in the reception. Found the decoration in the rooms looking a bit tired - needed updating as the wallpaper was started to peel away. Sat. Nav couldn't find the postcode of the hotel so had to ask for directions." (97366058)

    Clean comfortable rooms; great value for money at the restuarant - excellent meal.

    "Overall, a very impressive establishment with helpful and friendly staff. I was very tempted to indulge myself with one of the salon treatments but unfortunately didn't have time. I would definitely consider staying at the hotel again." (97504152)

    It was very quiet and the view from our room out over the golf course was beautiful and serene. The food in the restaurant (dinner and breakfast) was of a high quality and the waiter/waitress service was very good overall.

    There was nothing of any significance to dislike. I would have liked to have seen a selection of herbal teabags in the room.

    "Comfortable" (107119089)

    Clean,comfortable,quiet location,attentive staff

    Probably because the hotel is relatively new it seemed to have no atmosphere and was sterile A mini-bar would have been welcome

    "The hotel would have done better to offer a deal on an evening meal as well as the room as they apppeared to be very quiet in the restaurant but B & B was very good value" (97943725)

    clean and comfortable room with a good view

    "The website was quite informative told me everything I really needed to know. It is a clean, efficient hotel with friendly, courteous staff and quick and easy check-in and out." (97535370)

    Good level of cleanliness and fixtures/fittings.

    Bathroom extractor fan did not work which may have accounted for slight 'damp smell' in the bathroom.

    "Overall the hotel was of a very good standard and the room was well equipped. Only complaint was the room layout that made acess to the wardrobe very difficult due to the bed location" (97239889)

    Lovely location and good staff

    Room layout difficult - almost impossible to open the wardrobe doors due to bed location

    "Good service. The Rump Steak was excellent and plentiful! A-la carte was the only menu. Perhaps an alternative / Bar menu could prove popular." (97897542)

    Clean & Smart

    Wi-fi coverage in room non-existent and no modem / telephone connection as alternative to acces web.

    "Overall the hotel was excellent. Great value for money, excellent location, good food, good leisure facilities. the only issue that I had was being unable to connect to the Wi Fi. I was advised after a while that I would only be able to connect if I had Windows Vista which seemed a bit odd." (97354756)

    from Kings langley , GB  on  October 24, 2007

    "We would have preffered to have known that the room may have a window that overlooks the restaurant with no natural daylight. The beds were not overly comfortable (hard mattress)Breakfast was very good and the staff friendly and polite." (97808241)

    communal parts of the hotel were decorated to a good standard, the hotel was spacious and airy.

    our room had recently been redecorated and still had a strong smell of paint, the window overlooked the restaurant and felt claustrophobic, no opening windows meant the air conditioning ran most of the night. we would have preffered a room with an external window.

    good shower. lovely surroundings

    uncomfortable bed. very poor soundproofing between rooms. no fridge. poor level of decoration. living off the 'mansell' name. expensive for what it was- have stayed in much better hotels for a lot less money.

    "The design of the hotel made it feel a bit airless. We like to be able to open windows and had an internal room looking over the dining atrium.I would suggest you insist on a room with a view and opening windows. I have also had better bedlinen and pillows - a short sighted economy. The staff generally and breakfast were ok. Could they not have spared someone to cook eggs to order? It is these little things that let this place down." (97779673)

    Setting was beautiful and it was quiet

    we had an internal room which had a sealed window to the atrium this was airless and we had to have noisy air conditioning on for part of the night. If we had been staying longer or not been in such a rush to go to our event we would have asked to change.The Reception staff started on a bad foot by thinking our room wasnt ready despite it being check in time,explaining that some footballers had been late checking out. Not really my problem and it didnt make us feel very welcomed especially as she then went on to explain when we should check out the next day ie on time!

    Room was well equipped with good quality fittings.Good breakfast,buffet style, good service.Hotel situated in a lovely area.

    I requested a double but got a twin room.Room was fairly small for the price and sometimes noisy. Some of the wallpaper was peeling/torn and marked in places.

    Clean and modern hotel

    from Southampton , United Kingdom;GB  on  March 27, 2007

    "I virtally live in hotels during the week and this is the best one I have stayed in for many months. I like to swim and it is rare to get a hotel that has a decent length (20 metres) pool as part of its leisure facilities. The food was superb and fully deserving of its AA rosette award for the past two years. I look forward to staying here again in the future." (99667928)

    It was very clean, comfortable and all facilites are well maintained.

    size of room comfortable beds

    room was to hot. only french doors not a window that could be left open at night

  • 7/10 Anonymous ( Other) 

    on  January 30, 2007

    "The hotel seems to think excellent leaisure and sporting facilities take precedence over guest comfort. The bed was so uncomfortable we were unable to have a good nights rest, despite asking for a better matress nothing was done. Lighting in the room is totally inadequate to work, higher watt lightbulbs had to be installed. Glasses used the previous day were not removed from the room." (99153318)

    Leisure facilities

    Very uncomfortable bed, poor lighting in room, very bad and inadequate vegetarian menu, leisure centre used by large groups at times guests would like to use.

    Cleanliness and location

    Expensive restaurant

  • 7/10 Anonymous ( Group of adult friends) 

    on  August 30, 2006

    "Overall, we were pleased with the hotel and its facilities. The leisure centre was great with unlimited use of the swimming pool, etc. We had coffee in the conservatory of the club house and was disappointed that there was not fruit on offer to buy to have with coffee, only very high calorie cakes, could be a plus with anyone watching their weight, even on holiday. Also when checking out, we were not asked if we had enjoyed our stay, a little parting touch and makes the customer feel special, but sadly lacking with your staff." (3305180190)

    It was an adequate size for two and overlooked the golf course.

    There was a rip in the wallpaper which spoilt the overall look of the room, could have been covered up with a picture until you were able to redecorate. The beds were too hard, did not sleep very well on any of the 3 night stay.
