Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had lovely and clean rooms with great facilities and a comfortable bed, providing a view. The size was just perfect, and there were plenty of activities within the hotel. The service was extremely friendly and helpful, making it ideal for a family break. The location was good, very easy to find, and great for young children. The dining experience was delightful with plenty of choice and magnificent countryside views.
The hotel was a disappointment overall. The dining experience was very disappointing, with expensive and unappetizing food. The noise levels, especially on New Year's night, were unbearable, making it hard to get any rest. However, the staff were friendly and accommodating.
My stay at the hotel had some highs and lows. The rooms were not up to standard, with a persistent smell and issues with cleanliness. Additionally, the dining experience left much to be desired, with poor quality food and service. However, the service provided by the staff was exceptional, going out of their way to assist us. The hotel's location was convenient, albeit not ideal, and the facilities offered added some value to the stay.
The hotel rooms were spotless and the leisure facilities were great, but the breakfast was very poor. Despite this, I have been here a couple of times and even attended my sister's wedding here.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but we ended up paying more for having an additional person in the room compared to our friends with the same room layout. The service was friendly and attentive, with a nice touch of offering us a fan. However, the location had some noise issues outside, affecting my sleep, and the dining experience left much to be desired with dried out and unappetizing food.
