Our family have been members of the springs leisure centre for a number of years. In my opinion this leisure centre is one of the best in the midlands. The staff are always so friendly and helpful, going above and beyond all the time. The Aqua Aerobics class is on 5 mornings and it is an absolutely brilliant class. Recently one of the staff went through a gym programme with me, which I found extremely helpful and I find has given me more confidence in the gym. All areas of the leisure centre are always very clean. Overall I find The Springs a very peaceful calming environment.

Nice spacious clean room. Could have had air con in room as it was very stuffy.Good food and drink. Most of the staff were very friendly and accommodating. One incident with a waiter over a desert.

Two of us have just returned from the County Arms, on arrival at the hotel, there was a large wedding party, the staff coped admirably, the service was outstanding. The evening meal was delicious, cooked to perfection. Every member of staff deserves a special mention, they were super friendly and extremely professional, we can't wait to go back.

One of the best "family hotel rooms" we have seen in our travels with 4 young children, 2 parents. The layout of the family room has a partition wall between the parents side and the kids double-bunk-bed configuration. Each side gets their own TV and there are large operable windows for fresh air yet with adequate shades to block the light. There is a pool facility, restaurants in the hotel, borrow bicycles available and a large well-kept garden with yard-chess set. The property is within walking distance with a safe sidewalk for a leisurely walk or borrowed-bicycle ride down by a river. The breakfast was wonderful and the staff's hospitable disposition made the whole experience just lovely. Would definitely return.

This was our first time staying in the County Arms Hotel & we will definitely return. We had a very comfortable room overlooking the incredibly beautiful gardens. The staff were very friendly especially Alison on reception , Santa in the restaurant & the ever cheerful Brigid at breakfast. The food was excellent & the menu had plenty of choices. The highlight of our stay , had to be the amazing gardens with wonderful planting , gazebos & a little summer house . This has to be the best hotel garden we’ve ever visited & a dream for photographers. Please convey our thanks & congratulations to your gardener.
