Reviews and Ratings
The hotel seemed ideal for our party to hang out in with clean and relaxing leisure facilities. The rooms, although not up to the high spec standard one might expect at £200 per night, were far from disappointing. The service was attentive and polite, making our stay enjoyable. The location, though with a little unsightly gap, offered a fabulous setting for a short break with beautiful countryside walks. The dining experience was lovely with plenty of choices, perfect for setting up a long morning walk. The facilities met our needs, providing a good overall experience.
I absolutely loved the relaxation room in the spa at the hotel. The rooms, while a bit dated, were very clean and incredibly comfortable. The glass door with the changing lighting behind it added a quirky touch to the room. However, some may find the design slightly odd with a view of a brick wall on the other side.
My stay at the hotel was enjoyable overall. The rooms were very dated and in need of a revamp but were spacious, well-decorated, and exceptionally clean. The service was fantastic, with friendly and professional staff who were accommodating. The location was fabulous for a short break, offering a mix of nature and convenience. The dining experience had a very good variety and was one of the best I've had, although improvements could be made in attention to certain details. The facilities met my expectations for a comfortable stay.
