Our stay was way to short, it was quiet and relaxing with enough activities to keep you interested if you were looking for more - top class golfing facilities, a pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi and if shopping is your thing Solihull was 17 mins away by car

Not a 4 star in my opinion
Loation is great, staff is so friendly, facilities good as well. Breakfast is realy good - quality ingredients and fresh produce.
Bad things- no bottled water in the room? Very bizare for 4 star hotel. Room was cold as it uses standard radiators rather than air con so you cant realy set proper temperarure.

Good value, but very tired
It was a very good value stay, however, the hotel is very tired. The rooms don't have sockets by the beds, for example, except for the one used already for the lamp. The restaurant is also very expensive. However, as i say, the room was not expensive and included access to the pool so we had a nice one night stay with the kids. Staff were all very pleasant as welll.
