The car park was hard to find when dark even if folloing the postcode provided, poorly signposted. Reception staff were great no complaints, the whole hotel is spotless , very clean indeed. Breakfast is served until 9:30 and I went down to eat at 8:35am. Both of the 2 coffee machines were out of action and being cleaned for the entire 20 minutes i was in the restaurant meaning no coffee or tea available. "Chefs" were walking in and out of the restaurant wearing outdoor clothing including hats which surely raises questions over kitchen heigine? There were 2 rashers of bacon left swimming in grease and were not replenished in 20 minutes, pale sausages to the point where you couldnt risk eating them and in 20 minutes no hot food was replenishes. Orange juice was empty meaning the only liquid available was Apple Juice. There were 2 members of staff on duty, one of which kept disappearing and the other one was spending 90% of the tine cleaning both coffee machines. If they needed cleaning surely ckean one at a time so coffee is available? I paid £161 for the room and would question whether it was worth the money in all honesty. Location is amazing, reception and cleaning staff great but the whole experience let down so badly by breakfast and poorly signed parking. Could be great with a little more attention.

The room was very nice but would have been helpful if bathroom had a lock. The room service could be more better they didn’t understand English much and one time the lady refused to give glasses as her work time had ended which was quite ridiculous. Otherwise everything else was nice just the room service needs alot of improvement. Thanks

Rooms were great. Bar and restaurant staff not so great. Understand they have to comply with rules but with children and attending for a funeral. Not very family friendly. Or very understanding. Service should also be with a smile. Was very difficult to see this too. Just need to be more empathetic to the guests. Sad as use to be one of our favourites! prefer the vocco. Reception were great and helpful.

Me and my partner stayed for the weekend and we haven’t got one complaint, the room, hotel and the view was amazing. Everything was so clean and the customer service was outstanding and helpful. They also had a great bar with loads of choices or drinks and a lounge area, it’s a great place to stay and have a relaxing time away. So happy with our stay and will definitely be going back!
