Room tired and cold. Had to get the radiator to work as it wasn’t working. Decor around hotel also tired. Staff all very good and hotel very clean. No drinking water in the room and no fridge. Coffee at breakfast nasty but tea ok. Not the kind of hotel I would recommend for a leisure trip more suitable for workers
Everything was wonderful.
Would be great to have a big tv

Room 128 was very very noisy and extremely hot as the window was not openable,
Also the sheets had not been changed prior to our visit.
This is our fourth stay so we were disappointed. The staff however were very good.

Except the receptionist, the staff was really helpful and kind. The receptionist was either totally ignorant or lacking common sense.Despite seeing me and my partners with crutches, he gave us a room way further away from the lift. Also the room didn’t have an accessible bathroom. When we were leaving when I asked if they had disabled rooms, he said yes.
The surroundings were amazing, beautiful and tranquil. They also had an impressive breakfast menu. Over all we enjoyed being there.
