I stayed here for 1 night recently with my wife and 2 year old son.
overall I was quite impressed with the Hotel.
Check in and check out were quick and efficient.
There was a carvery for dinner in the restuarant and the food was better than average - a good selection and not too pricey for a hotel.
We used the swimming pool and it was fine, however there is no shallow end for kids.
The room itself was OK, large bed, clean and the sofa bed made up before we got to the room.
The most positive thing about the hotel is the staff - all of the staff were very friendly and excellent with our child, this included the receptionist, the people working in the gym, the restuarant staff
and the bar staff - all very friendly and they went out of their way to make sure we were happy.
I stay at so many hotels all over the UK that it was a real pleasant suprise to find some effiecient, happy and accomodating staff, in fact they should send them to some of the other Holiday Inn's I stay at to train some of them!
