Wildly expensive and basic
Rooms feel like student dorms, no soul just basic as hell. The bar is wildly expensive for what it is £6 for a bottle of peroni is crazy. I won’t be staying again. You claim a spa also in the listing but when arrived it’s in another hotel.

Family stay.
The hotel is situated next to a nature reserve , with a spa, and wellness centre. A very good location. However I found the room to have a very strong smell of damp, there was a lot of dust on top of the curtains, and lamp shades. When closing the curtains the dust fell down and the curtains were stuck along the curtain pole, I’m not sure if the room is used often enough to be thoroughly cleaned each time as it felt very damp as though it was cleaned a while ago and left. Apart from this it is a lovely a room, with good amenties. There is a bar and restaurant within the hotel. There is a supermarket, petrol station and other stores within a very short drive away.

Gem of a hotel
This is a gem of a hotel, when we arrived we were definitely pleasantly surprised. The hotel staff are really friendly and helpful, the room was a little on the small side but was really nice. Would definitely look to stay here again when we're down that way

Nice grounds, however been asking for receipt for stay for several days and they still have not sent it, probably an Expedia issue rather than the hotel….
