Firstly the hotel is currently being renovated so not everything is perfect. Our room was very large and was what we needed, although some of the lights did not work but wasn't really an issue. The indoor pool was good, the bar and restaurant look very nice and are reasonably priced. Stuart the manager was brilliant and very polite, nothing was a bother. Would stop again if in the area.

Was nice, hard to finds a member of staff to get a drink though. Oh and the door to the pool kept closing and locking which didn't feel safe with children in the pool.Tried to contact them a few months later to book the pool and couldn't get hold of anyone. Booked elsewhere.

My daughter recently attended a party in the pool at this hotel. It is the second one she has been too and truly enjoyed both times. I shall be looking into prices for her birthday party this year! The staff are all very polite and helpful and the swimming coordinatoris also lovely!

We love this pool it's nice and small and warm and ideal for our little baby. Only thing is if my husband takes him there's no changing facilities in the men's. But they do have the changing in the woman's for the baby. Showers are lovely and hot and you also get to use the sauna and steam room. Only thing I find a bit confusing is getting in the place. Every time I go in the main entrance I never know where the reception is or where to go so I feel like I'm wondering around a little bit.

Really great place to stay. Great facilities for families! the room was really hot as there was only a little window, they did provide a fan but it was still sweltering. But I think it was more that we stayed on a week where it was super hot and not usual British weather! LolThe staff had only taken over fairly recently but seemed naturals at what they did. The bloke there was so friendly! And the young lad and young girl were really polite and helpful.Thanks to all at redhouse for making our stay so great and making our holiday that little bit better! Cheers guys!

Just had a one nite stay with 2 of my young children and this hotel was beautifully clean and well presented. The family room was huge and a massive TV in the master bedroom. The breakfast was lovely and plentiful. Highly recommend

Indoor Pool area looking very tired now. Water often murky looking, and very dark in there. Jacuzzi/hot tub looks like it's older than me. Changing rooms in need of a full refit. I've heard the place has just changed hands and the new owner is putting the prices up... Definitely won't be renewing membership at it was barely with the old price. (And that was discounted too!). If the new owners invest and bring it back to former glory, then maybe they can get away with an increase?

Only there 3 nights but the room wasn't cleaned once no towels where left and no tea and coffee was left. When asked if I'd like a full breakfast I was told they could only do scrambled egg as they had a make shift kitchen and when the breakfast arrived it was very poor only had 1 rashen of bacon 1 sausage and beans that's what was a full breakfast they are going through a refurbishment but no excuse for bad service

Hotel was lovely, very clean and tidy. Went there for a swimming party. The bar had run out of fruit shoots for the kids and the bar attendant was a bit unfriendly.
