Nice tranquil modern hotel
Lovely hotel in the middle of the countryside, very tranquil, nice modern clean room, quiet at night. Enjoyed the leisure centre, good facilities apart from lack of hot tub.

The domestic staff are wonderfu, very helpful, lovely people and so very kind. All the staff we were in contact with could not of been nicer.
My wife had her 21st some 51 years ago at this hotel!
We were both originally from Heswall.
Our trip was one to help my brother in law who lives in New Brighton who has had a nasty fall booth breaks in his ankle.
Thank you for your help.

Peaceful setting. Staff friendly and helpful.
Staff very friendly and helpful.
We had one meal, fish and chips, but they didn't have steak or lasagne? We were both disappointed with our meal! The chips were dry and white! mushy peas looked a little crusty on top, and the sauce
looked like it had been left uncovered for a while.
The pillows do not have a safety case on!!
Also, they do not allow cash or debit payments! Not good if you don't carry a credit card!
The positives its a lovely peaceful setting and energy.
The pool and steam room fab.
The dry room was out of order.

Great hotel. Couple of teething problems during ou
Really good multigym (for a hotel). Loads of machines and free weight. However the swimming pool was a bit cold and the sauna out of action while we were there.
The room was lovely, really nice. Unfortunately they had a problem with the hot water while we were there which was off two mornings in a row at precisely the time I needed to shower and shave before work. When it was on it was scalding and difficult to balance the temperature whilst showering. However I’m sure that was just a temporary hiccup while we were staying.
