"Stayed here as a Base for Horseracing
Big Hotel,plenty of Parking.Spa/Pool is off site.
Our Room was quite small,and we did have issues with the heating not working too well.
Room was clean,Bathroom good with all amenities.
TV was big,but had intermittent glitches with the picture,but nothing too bad.
Breakfast was good,buffet style,so no problems there.
The Spa/Pool/Gym is off site up at the top of the Car Park,which can be a chilly walk.
All in all,good Hotel with decent Rooms,Breakfast,and Pool."
