2 night leisure break
A modern hotel, with plenty of parking spaces, in a good location for visiting Windsor and a number of National trust properties etc. all within an hour by car.
Our room was spacious and comfortable, nice to have fresh milk and a fridge. All staff were very helpful and friendly. Good bar with comfortable seating and selection of cocktails and drinks.
A good buffet breakfast with a nice selection of hot and cold food, fresh fruit all of which was frequently replenished.
2 night break
We stayed here at the end of March, for 2 nights.The room was spacious, clean and tidy.
We ate in the hotel restaurant on the first night, food was decent, and service was very good.
Breakfast on both days was excellent, really good cooked breakfast.
The spa area including swimming pool was also excellent as was the bar area.
The whole experience was very good and we would definitely go back and wouldn't hesitate in recommending this hotel.
