We stayed for just one night and from the moment we checked in the staff could not have been more pleasant or helpful. The hotel has been immaculately refurbished giving a light airy feel which we absolutely loved. The standard double room was a really good size. The bed pillows and quilt are the best we have slept in. It was like being in a cloud as it was so light and fluffy. We ate dinner in the grill and the food was superb as was the service. Breakfast was also excellent but could have been a little hotter. We will not hesitate to stay here again.

We stayed at the Voco Rockingham Forest for one night to break a long journey. It was our first time here but we have stayed at other Voco hotels previously and been impressed. Somehow, the Voco Rockingham Forest managed to impress us even more. The buildings are modern and only recently refitted to Voco style and standards. From the moment you enter the foyer, the vibe is contemporary, chilled and relaxed. Check in was swift. Our room was a good size by today's standards, with modern furnishings and thought given to the location of mirrors, electrical sockets and storage. The bed was one of the most comfortable we have slept in, the pillows likewise, and the gorgeous crisps sheets and light, fluffy quilt, have made me re-think what we use at home! We had a brilliant sleep. The bathroom had a demisting mirror, memorable shower, and space under the washbasin to place toiletries. We dined in the restaurant. The menu is short but imaginative – not just the usual burgers and pizzas. I am gluten-free but also pescatarian. When there wasn't an obvious choice for me on the menu, a quick chat with a very helpful member of staff brought suggestions from the chef as to what he could make for me. My husband's Pil Pil Prawns was a brilliant starter and arrived quickly. Our main courses were Steak Frites (pronounced very good) and cod with chips, smashed peas, watercress and a super tartare sauce, all of which was tasty and nicely presented. Desserts were sticky toffee pudding with cream and a gluten free chocolate torte. Both were super. The team of staff were lively and chatty but also efficient, the whole experience a delight that exceeded our expectations. The bill was very reasonable. Breakfast was fine. It's hard to put a finger on what made the experience a little 'meh', especially since all of the choices of breakfast dishes were there. Maybe it was the atmosphere? The staff member on duty was welcoming, my made-to-order porridge with honey the nicest on our trip, the food hot, and so on. The rather flat experience wouldn't put me off returning but it didn't 'wow'. We booked this hotel only the night before and chose it mainly for its location but also because we've had reliable and enjoyable experiences previously from Voco. Voco Rockingham didn't just not disappoint, it genuinely delighted us. The product is good but the staff are brilliant, interacting genuinely – no mean feat in the world of hospitality today.
