Wonderful
Excellent service from start to finish. Great staff. Breakfast included is super value and standard.
Weather was hot and room air conditioning would be a big step up in comfort. Food vending machines look a little tired without selection only, also needs to be card payment. Currently cash only?.

We had a lovely room overlooking the racecourse (which we hadn't requested), the room was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Nice bathroom and shower, fluffy big towels. Reception/restaurant area was airconditioned, great on such a hot day. Complimentary hot drinks available all day from the machine. Breakfast was very good. Nice sausages, crispy bacon, lots of choice of bread and pastries.
Would have liked a bowl of fruit salad at breakfast, instead of just individual fruits. We would have liked breakfast outside, but there were no umbrellas so it was too hot in the sun. Provide some shade please!

The location was excellent and there is parking a real bonus. Breakfast included is also an added lovely touch. Staff were all extremely friendly
Very little shelf space for clothes that dont require hanging up A small chest of drawers or a shelf unit next to bed would be useful. The one that is installed doesn't have any shelves or drawers

We were over the moon with our ajoining room for our girls break away. We had a lovely view of the racecourse. Breakfast was amazing with a great selection and excellent quality. Free teas and coffee went down a treat.

Poor
Great location
Selected double bed option but sadly given 2 single beds, reception staff stated room type not guaranteed under T&C’s. This ruined our romantic weekend away and if we had know we would have chosen a different hotel. We have never experienced this problem before. Highly disappointing and frustrating. £182 a night, £10 parking and single beds scenario overall poor.
