Gem of a hotel
We were looking for a not crazy expensive hotel that’s drivable to the NEC and were very pleasantly surprised. Staff were super friendly and efficient, leafy surroundings are beautiful, the room was roomy and comfortable, and the food top notch. Recommend the buffet breakfast. Only regrets: we couldn’t stay longer and there’s not a huge difference between the deluxe and superior room if you’re thinking of upgrading.

Lovely location, ideally placed for visiting NEC. Our Saturday evening was quite busy in bars, restaurant and pool area. However it didn’t spoil our enjoyment and we will definitely be back.
