Highly recommended!
Lovely old, characterful hotel with a spa and fitness centre. Room was lovely and spacious and bed was really comfy. Bathroom had both a tub and a shower and was very clean - as expected. Food in the restaurant was delicious and there was plenty of choice for breakfast.

Perfect stay
We had a wonderful stay, from the moment we walked in we were greeted & made most welcome by a gentleman, he offered to help with our luggage & also showed us to our room which was lovely & spotless.
Everything about this hotel is 5 stars. The staff are a credit to the hotel, they are so welcoming and friendly and nothing is too much trouble, this without a doubt adds to the enjoyment to our stay. The food in the hotels Lakeside restaurant is superb.
We cannot wait to return.
Thank you for our wonderful stay.

Long weekend stay
Enjoyed the hotels location and it was clean and tidy throughout. I wouldnt rate it as highly as other venues i have stayed at because it lacked some of the elements of a luxury hotel such as some of the staff seemed less helpful than others and the older side of the hotel could do with some tlc in places. A touch overpriced in my view but overall ok.

I was very disappointed with 2 things, during my 3 nights stay
1. Towels never been charged.
2. Never got my omelette despise waiting for 30 minutes. Thus I never had breakfast at the hotel during the 3 days stays.

Cramped attic room that was unfit for purpose as you could not walk round the bed safely or in an upright position.
