4/10 Poor

Unfortunately I chose this property as geographically convenient and for the opportunity to swim. The pool 'advertised' is not in the hotel but across 2 car parks (the hotel's and the sports centre) and does not belong to the hotel. I was told I needed to book a time slot. I tried for a Sunday early evening but the pool closed at 4:00 so I suggested 3:00 - no that was booked for families. Okay Monday morning at 7:00 (breakfast finishes at 9:00 in the hotel). I went to find the pool already had 5 people in it and there was a sign saying maximum 5 in the pool. I said I had booked but they shouted at me they were members and did not have to book a slot. I got in and a gentleman got out and I swam for 5 minutes feeling very upset. No towels provided. Luckily I took one with. The breakfast was appalling. Part buffet (limited but ok) and the cooked breakfast was the worst I have ever had. Undercooked greasy fried eggs and the rest was as bad or worse. Hotel to their credit accepted my complaints and gave me a reduction but my one night away did not leave me relaxed or happy. I would add that the room was not in the main building. Quite a long walk in, out and to reception and the restaurant. The room itself was comfy and pretty clean (apart from 2 clipped false nails found on the floor) but surprisingly too hot in the middle of a cold winter. On a ive note all staff were pleasant and tried to be helpful but the pool issue and breakfast 'chef' really need sorting.
