Lovely
Pros:

Warm clean rooms, friendly staff, especially the reception area. Breakfast excellent.

Cons:

It is a bit like a maze. Also, my evening meal in Prego was unfortunately not cooked. I had carbonara, and the pasta was only luke warm, so the egg was still raw, but the rest of the table enjoyed their meals

Pros:

The staff were friendly and the location and facilities good.

Cons:

During my three-night stay, I dined at both on-site restaurants. Unfortunately, the food was merely average and lacked anything particularly memorable. More concerning was the issue with the pepper mills: both restaurants, located on different floors, appeared to share a pair of pepper mills, none of which functioned correctly. Staff were unaware they were both faulty, which was frustrating.

My recently renovated room also had several problems. The basin tap wasn’t properly secured to the vanity unit and moved loosely. Hot water was inconsistent in the evenings, and the wallpaper above the bed was peeling, which detracted from the overall presentation.

The most serious issue, however, was at the swimming pool Jacuzzi. The chlorine levels were excessively high - so much so that my eyes were watering from the fumes. As a water treatment consultant, I can say with confidence that this indicates improper balance and is a potential health concern.

Charming hotel with lots of character! Ideal for a rural getaway
Pros:

The room was a good size, very comfortable bed and excellent shower.
Breakfast buffet was spot on. You also have the option to order bits like eggs benedict etc. But overall, lovely stay, clean spacious rooms and good food.

Cons:

Spa is currently being updated but this really isn't a negative, more of a positive that it's receiving some TLC

A Lovely Break!
Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay in The DEN back in November 2025 and said we would do 2nts next time to make the most of the facilities, so decided on 2 nights for my birthday in march this year and had a nice stay.

Cons:

Just a few minor niggles that could have made it 10/10, only 1 bottle of water for 3 people staying, no teabags (although reception did bring some up swiftly), not the greatest of coffee pods to choose from, the Internet signal was so weak in the rooms that we were struggling to watch the tv in the main room, the TV in the bathroom (my treat) didn't work due to weak signal and the xbox controllers were flat so my son couldn't play on it until we had new batteries, which were found by reception team again (thank u guys).
