I can't lie... Definitely not a 4*... When we checked in, we were given a room where the bed had been slept in and there were used glasses everywhere - almost like a Goldilocks situation. Eventually, we were given a room that was "clean", if you ignore the several strands of hair in the bed, grimey shower and the pubes under the toilet seat. Overall, the interior is dated and not well managed. Other than cleanliness, the restaurant was closed on the day we arrived for a private function. Would have been good to know this in advance, or at least offer room service. Instead, a staff member suggested going to the festival they were hosting on the grounds, where we would have needed to pay entry. Separately, there was false advertising with the leisure facilities. On the first day, they closed 3 hours early (bank holiday, although would have been good to know in advance). The next day, we were then told we had to pay £5 per person for a day pass (this is not noted on Expedia). One lady staff member was good - very helpful on the bar. The rest of the staff were joking. I spoke to one as he was fleeing the reception desk, as I had a query about the gym fee. He said I'd need to speak to the manager and that one is on the way, then walked off. Nobody ever arrived. Overall, definitely not a 4 star experience.
