The hotel is in a great location and we were welcomed by a friendly, efficient receptionist. Our room was, on first impressions, very nice - clean and spacious - but several small issues could do with some attention (loose toilet seat, broken bulbs, no USBs, loose wallpaper, very low water pressure when flushing the toilet,...). The room was quite warm and stuffy but we could only open 2 windows very slightly for some fresh air. We were, however, advised not to open the windows in case bugs got into the room - you can't argue with nature!
We had an evening meal in the bar, which was very good. Breakfast was ok. Bar and breakfast staff were very good but were short on numbers - long waits in the bar as the lady working there was on her own most of the time and was covering several roles.
Would rebook here if visiting Oulton Park again.
