We booked a double queen with balcony suite and when we arrived they gave us a complimentary room upgrade to a balcony suite with a pool view! My mom, sister and I were away for a weekend together so this was so fun! The staff was helpful and friendly. They had live music down by the pool which also made for a nice evening.

Nice clean new hotel block within world equestrian center and near the main The equestrian hotel. It’s got big clean pool, quality made interiors, little cafe /bar on the ground floor, large lounging areas downstairs. The only thing I’d like to add is walking direct To the main hotel, I was a little confused about how to get there.
