Fantastic stay!

convenient bus servicedelicious foodrelaxing spa facilitiescool jacuzzi temperature
I REALLY appreciated the convenient bus service into the city. The bus stop was just a short walk from the hotel entrance. The on-site pub, Fat Abbott, offered a REALLY good menu with delicious food. I found the spa facilities relaxing. The pool, sauna, and steam room were all well kept.
The jacuzzi temperature could have been higher. It felt a bit too cool for my liking.

The hotel is situated a little outside the city, a peaceful setting for a getaway. It had easy access to the park and ride, made traveling into the city SIMPLE. The grounds around the building were also beautiful.

The room was spacious and clean, and I found the bathroom VERY nice. I saw that it included a whirlpool bath, though the shower curtain stuck to me a bit. The room also had tea and coffee making facilities for added convenience.

I encountered some issues . Our room was quite COLD. The heaters struggled to warm the space adequately. The shower only produced warm water, not hot, disappointing.
