Overview
The hotel has its own health club, and seems to be very popular with locals. It has good car parking with just one disabled bay, close to its own entrance. You arrive at the main gate (photo one) and drive all the way ahead and then go over to the left and reach another entrance into main hotel, with a disabled bay available (photo 2) Entering, you turn left and follow corridors around, which is easy enough for wheelchairs, and go down the ramp towards Bar restaurant but this time stay straight ahead at the far end (photo 3) and arrive at the health club reception desk (photo 4) which also has a clothes outlet with many gym items on sale (photo 5) Their main car park for the health club however is by continuing around to pass the other car parks and reach their own car park (photo 6) which is level for you to enter, and into reception area. Just to the right you have a number of electrical charging points available (photo 7) right next to a disabled bay, handy for topping up while you go and enjoy a pleasant swim, or training facilities. Once you have paid for the programme you wish to do today, a card is presented to you, and this will allow you to enter the indoor pool area (photo 8) and enjoy its swimming pool (photo 9) A jacuzzi and dip pool is also available (photo 10) Going all the way round you will reach a passage which leads to the training facilities (photo 11) with modern gym aquipment (photo 12) and all set up and ready to go (photo 13) We were also pleased to see they have a golf course, in very good order, and the first hole is right outside the hotel itself (photo 14). All in all, it seems to be very popular, but a bit expensive we thought, at a monthly charge of over £70. but it’s a well looked after health club, you get what you pay for we guess. We would recommend the club however, due to its being so clean, with modern aquipment, and part of the very nice hotel itself.
Transport & Parking
The health club has its own car park area, with a disabled bay available, and although you need to drive all the way around to reach it, it’s then easy to get out when you are ready to go.
Access
The car park is level, with easy level approach into the health club. Although each facility is spread around the hotel area, it’s all on the level, and secure, you don’t get into anything without a card key.

Staff
