Lovely hotel with comfortable facilities, would book again but specify a room away from car park.
Pros:

Good location with comfortable lounges, bar and garden.

Cons:

Quite noisy at night when there was a wedding. Our room faced the car park on ground floor and was also quite noisy at night.

All guests sounded happy (which does sum it up!).
Pros:

Everything was absolutely fine. Travelled with my father for a wedding and his room was placed alongside mine which was thoughtful (it doesn't always happen). Mine was a perfectly adequate double and his was an enormous family room (so if you book one of those, you'll have room for a jog). Didn't have much time to spend in the hotel itself but it had a lively bar area and I did squeeze in a visit to the swimming pool next morning (very busy but a beautiful spot). Breakfast was very good and staff were again thoughtful, asking if my father needed help with the stairs or a tray. Car parking was plentiful at the hotel. Overall, it had a nice mix of happy sounding guests!

Cons:

Not a criticism but perhaps place the tea/coffee facilities on a table rather than in a deep drawer given I had just assumed I didn't have any until my father pointed out his had been hidden.

Pros:

Comfortable and clean . Great location. Breakfast was excellent. Friendly staff.

Cons:

The dinner menu did not match its description. Had a chicken dish but it was tough. Did mention to manager of restaurant. Also bar food lacking. Salad was spinach leaves with onion.
Need to do better.

A pleasant stay and I will book again. However, hotel seems aged and needs a face lift
Pros:

There was ample parking, reception was excellent, room was clean, staff were very helpful and friendly.

Cons:

There was only one lift, breakfast was basic with not a large variety and no choice of eggs.
