Unfortunately I have experienced this hotel at it's best. The staff were nice and my room was upgraded to a suite which was a lovely touch considering I stayed with my two children. The hotel is tired, there was lightbulbs out in the room, wallpaper peeled and framework missing from the doors. The shower was yellowing and when used sprayed from cracks behind the shower head. When on the balcony you can see the other half of the hotel which is closed off and unused. It has no roof and some of the balconys look to have dropped. When checking out of the hotel at 8am there were a large group if men, stood in the carpark surrounding my car. My teenage daughter became nervous but I advised they were probably waiting to be transported to work somewhere. I asked them to move and they did so I could leave but not a great impression. I paid £94 per night (averaged) over my two night stay and unfortunately I don't think the hotel should be asking for that price for what I booked which was a standard room.

Awful. Don't go. Looks like it's falling down and derelict. We left bags in the car to check the hotel was still open. Unfortunately it was. Photo on site must be 10 years old. This is a 1 star hotel.

Awful hotel - don't book - dont believe the pics

Hotel is in a terrible state, Half is derelict and the other wing has its roof missing. The pictures are from another time pre-Apocalypse. Rooms are dirty & falling apart. Worst place I have ever stay - should be closed (should not be on Expedia) - has to be seen to be believed but save yourself. Is a long way out of town down a narrow road.

Nice Views - Pity about the Hotel

Hotel is tired and needs complete refurbishment - however - the views from the rooms over the lake are stunning and the rooms are large and spacious. The Hotel decor is very dated and this along with the poor state of repair of fixtures and fittings lets it down.

Basic but nice

Ok, so apparently there was a fire and flooding there in 2014 when I say apparently you can see there was. So 75% of the hotel is no longer in use. You would think after 4 years they would have that repaired already. Other than that the hotel is basic but nice. Ideal for a night or 2 it needs some serious money spent on it. It was clean and tidy. The staff were welcoming and very friendly and the food was delicious. The £10 for breakfast seems expensive however what you’re offered makes it good value so take advantage. Overall this hotel is worth a visit it’s not posh, this current picture on hotels.com is when the hotel was in good condition so don’t be disappointed on arrival. But the rooms are a good size and comes with a private balcony over looking the lake. And yes I would go back

Old and tired by the lake

This hotel is an awful hotel, due to its taped carpets, out of order lift, what looks like fire damage to a large portion of the building and it’s general flaky paint exterior. Whilst the hotel bed was comfortable, the shower was little more than a trickle and the comfort features within the room were sparse.
