Room was lovely, breakfast buffet was fab. Unfortunately we booked here with two other families specifically to use the pool after our Legoland trip and we were only told on check in that children are heavily restricted on what time they can use the pool - which is not mentioned anywhere on the website. We also had to sign papers saying the children (12,12 and 9) wouldn’t jump, dive, splash or make any noise while in the water. It’s a shame because the hotel itself was lovely, but we won’t be returning.

The staying was nice overall. Only disappointing thing is the swimming pool poor timetable for children under 16yo. 8/10am and 2/5.30pm ish. Basically at breakfast time and at shopping/visit time only. If you have planned to go to visit some places around and have children with you, forget the swimming pool. The staff was nice and very polite.

Great hotel very clean with welcoming staff. The bar & restaurant were very nice serving good food with generous portion size. The room was clean & tidy but unfortunately too hot & the shower wasn't great. The only other downside was one of the lifts was out of operation which meant queueing for the other as the hotel was pretty busy

This hotel is beautiful. The bed was comfortable and the room was immaculate. Breakfast was lovely and there was a lot of choice. The pillows were too big for our personal preference and the tv in the room came on by itself in the middle of the night and woke us up. The remote was under the tv (no idea how it came on) so i had to.get up to turn it off.

The only reason this doesn't get 5 stars is because everytime I come here there's always an issue with the deposit. Last time they took the full £150 and never refunded it despite there being no damage. This time they charged from our deposit even though we paid all our food & drink bills in full at time of purchase. On both occasions we still haven't gotten the money back despite calling and emailing several times. It's a shame if it wasn't for this everything else was great, the menu is amazing the restaurant staff are lovely and our room was clean and comfortable.

Morning, I'm not happy with this hotel as they have not returned my deposit of £150 which was collected from me last week. I was assured this will be returned back to my credit card during checkout but so far this has not happened. The hotel was quick to take my depost and very slow givig it back. Please chase the hotel for my deposit as i did not use any extras as I paid for my breakfast in full when I booked with Expedia.

We had a nice stay for a one night getaway with pool facilities. Not much around the hotel, definitely designed for more of a business place to stay rather than leisure with exploring the area. We were put in an accessible room which wasn't ideal but was fine. It took a while to work out the lights as there's switches everywhere! Breakfast was great!

This hotel is well located close to the M4 and 20 miles from London Heathrow. It has good amenities. Our room was comfortable but had a shower over a half bath which would have been better as a walkin shower. Also, the entrance to the hotel is unusual- through an underground parking garage, which means a lot more walking via an elevator to reception. Those with mobility issues would be challenged.
