“Oaks Hotel And Leisure Club presents a dichotomy: while the renovated Victorian mansion, set in landscaped gardens, initially charms with its historical appeal, some aspects require a fresh eye. I noted family-friendly elements, like children's menus, and convenient workspaces appeal to business travelers, yet certain rooms and spa facilities seem to fall short of the mark; the inconsistency is hard to ignore.”

The staff was friendly and helpful .

I found some significant issues with the room. The carpets in the passageway were worn, with threadbare sections.. This did not reflect well on the hotel's upkeep. the choice of cereal at breakfast was limited. There was no granola or oat mixture available.

the staff sorted out a couple of issues i had in an excellent way. everyone was very friendly. i found the welcome warm and genuine.

i noticed the housekeeping team seemed less enthusiastic about dusting. also, finding socks from a previous guest in the drawer was a bit off-putting, it was a minor blip though.

The room had a very large comfortable space with a big window overlooking the garden I found more than enough space to put everything including a large desk. The bed was very comfortable the room was clean. I thought the price of the room was excellent.

There were many up and down stairs to the room which was difficult for carrying luggage
