Good location and convenient!

Great location and convenient, however they could have better food options. Also the food was overpriced. The prices need to be cheaper! Not worth it.

Over all we enjoyed our stay, however on Saturday 9th August prior to leaving ny husband and i sat chatting with my sister. At this time there was the most unsavoury & disruptive altercation between a family who came to the lobby more than once. Not dure if those people were staying at the hotel. Abusive language at a loud volume did not make for a nice conclusion to a family meeting unfortutely.

Deceiving costs and lack of care.

No leisure club facilities available, was informed on the booking page and the hotel would not refund us. Also they wanted £50 deposit on arrival which again we weren't aware of and have not been refunded so far for this. Nosey bikes and cars reving outside late at night. Food prices expensive.

Great Hotel with fantastic staff

The hotel was easy to find, easy to park and the staff both in reception, restaurant for dinner and breakfast were first class ( Possibly the best I've interacted within in UK ).. they upgraded room to lakeside which was lovely but the only criticism was the double bed i booked ended up being 2 single beds pushed together which resulted in me only be able to sleep on one half as the gap in-between just swallowed you up
