The overall feel of the hotel is quite dated but for the price we paid it was good value. The staff at reception were very welcoming and efficient. The room was huge, loads of space for family of 4 and it was clean and comfortable.
We used the swimming pool which was a good facility, the whole pool is 1.2m deep, slightly too deep for small kids but we made do.
Next was dinner, most importantly the food was pretty good and we enjoyed the meal. Service was organised but perhaps a bit rushed at times and I have to admit I did a double take at the bill, while happy with the meal we felt the prices are high for what you get.
We got a good nights sleep, all the beds were comfortable and breakfast the next morning was also good, plenty of choice between continental and cooked options.
The hotel is in lovely scenery with plenty of options for walking, cycling, museums etc nearby.
Overall felt the bed and breakfast rate was excellent value but this was offset by the cost of the evening meal!
