Lovely hotel. Clean, tidy and comfortable. Not as close to the town centre as promised. Stunning views of the rowing lake from the bar/restaurant. Breakfast was extra but good.

Little gem

Ok it’s a small hotel that does not have the usual gym and facilities but if all you need is a room with bath/shower it’s ok. Place could do with a coat of paint in places however the lounge bar overlooking the lake is great

There is a large park adjacent to the hotel. Serene and beautiful view from the dining area. Also, the property seems to have been renovated. EXCELLENT shower. Need to keep the dining area clean. Bread crumps were fallen on the seats BUT the tables were cleaned. Coffee fallen on the floor. Jugs used for water, apple and orange juice were showing old water stains (salt deposit marks).

Awful Experience

The hotel itself is okay, a bit pricey for the facilities but staff were helpful and polite. The nightmare started with the parking fine I received after my stay, despite registering my car at check-in. I now have an aggressive fine company wasting my time and I wish I hadn't stayed here at all. BEWARE BOOKING FOR THIS HOTEL!
