Forest Of Arden Marriott Hotel & Country Club, Daimler

Generally good nice big fancy place attentive friendly staff and all around quite good place to have visited. Spacious room I think it did a free upgrade for me, bed was comfortable and warm enough. All the features including a coffee machine. I personally don't think I'll return mainly for own reasons rather than particularly recommended for you reasons. For me the headline disappointment was the Shallow pool. I came here rather than to other places because nice value place yes but also the pool as a standout feature. The depth was stated 0.9m at the edges (~3 quarters of pool) and 1.5m in the quarter part in the middle. It felt like less than this and I would hit my feet on the bottom regularly so I had to be careful throughout. This dimension should be displayed on the website and on a photo on here to not disappoint. I should have twigged when I saw pretty busy with kids in the pool and adults in the jacuzzi; the jacuzzi was ok for me if not as warm as had elsewhere. Steam room was fantastic and sauna also very good so a mixed bag and is what it is but could have done with being informed in advance. Fragrances in room and halls did seem to be setting off my allergies. On the pillow or bed somewhere slightly impacting sleep and I got dizzy in the halls at some points on the fairly long walk to my room. Mushrooms at breakfast buffet seemed steamed rather than fried. Which thank you for health concern and the little ones could be hidden in food although the bigger ones tasted slightly like mud. Enough to legitimately put kids off getting into mushrooms. Rest of breakfast was either good or amazing. Toilets water pressure was very low in the room(s) and also the reception area near the breakfast. No brushes for the necessary clean up given that. I feel a bit sorry for what the cleaners probably get to regularly walk in on.
