Comfortable stay.
Great staff with excellent breakfast options and service.
Leisure centre and pool facilities were excellent and staff polite and friendly.
Only downside the room was not ready untill 1630 which shortened our stay.
Hotel was older but clean. They had weddings both nights we stayed which made parking very difficult. Staff did not offer any alternative location. The hotel pub/restaurant were good.
unfortunately, we only stayed here 1 night, but was a fantastic property and very nice staff. parking was very easy. there was also a gym and pool but we didn't have a chance to take advantage of this. Breakfast was very good with lots of options.
The hotel is convenient and close to walking and running routes as well. The staff is absolutely excellent. We were very pleased with our second stay at the hotel.
Staff firstly were very good and approachable.
We enjoyed the food in the bar area - good portions for the price - quality good too. Bed and room comfort also very good.
Gym and pool staff to very helpful.
Great location with plenty of options for dining and sightseeing. The rooms are clean and the staff were friendly. Just know that they do not have air conditioning in the rooms. They will provide you with a portable fan if requested. Well worth the cost to stay in this beautiful area.
A lovely hotel. Breakfast fabulous. Well located. Bedroom lovely however no bedside lockers and no hooks in en-suite for towels or clothes. The barman was lovely.
