A short stay in a lovely part of the country. Hotel suited us really well.
Pros:

generally a pleasant hotel, the public rooms in the older part were tired but had character. The bedrooms are in a new wing and in excellent order. House Keeping are really keen and this shows in the presentation of the rooms.

Cons:

Nil.

Pros:

The staff were so welcoming, helpful, friendly and efficient. The room was very spacious with two very comfortable beds, comfortable chairs, excellent storage and extensive worktop for makeup, papers etc. Excellent standard of cleanliness throughout.
The food was freshly prepared, tasty and very good standard and value. Excellent breakfasts including wide choice of cooked options. We especially liked the lovely lounge area which you don't always find in more reasonably priced hotels. More than ample on site parking.

Cons:

The bathroom, whilst adequate, needs some updating and repair.

I will not be returning as the hotel is stuck in the past
Pros:

The hotels location is good for travelers to the area and suited my needs. There is plenty of parking for guests. The check in at the reception was quick allowing me to get to my room quickly.

Cons:

The service in the restaurant was terrible and ended up i had to leave to exit the hotel to get my dinner. The food selection for dinner was very poor with a limited menu which was restricted even more by many dishes being unavailable.
The hotel is very dated, and needs cleaned up with the furnishings and bathrooms showing dirt and grime as a result of many years of use.

Ok apart from very hard bed and mixed breakfast.
Pros:

Bacon was nicely cooked. Staff friendly.

Cons:

No marmalade. Coffee was only lukewarm. Eggs were not fresh because the albumen (the white) was flat and spread all over the plate. Yolk was not orange but very pale.

The futuristic Transformation

The new& environmentally interesting design which will be seen in 2027/28.
The very smart and extremely well educated Director Kalid! Great guy!

Cons:

The tired loveless style. Not worth to make any photo at all!

Lovely staff, VERY comfy beds, nice quiet location
Pros:

Nice large rooms with a small table and seating area too. Bed was large and SUPER comfortable! Good shower, always a bonus when the mirror has the anti steam aspect to it, very handy. Solaiman was so lovely, checked us in very quickly and really looked after us on both Friday and Saturday evening in the bar/restaurant.

Cons:

I'm afraid the food was very disappointing. We had dinner on Friday night and my pasta was completely tasteless. The penne so overdone that it was mushy and falling to pieces. Mum said her chicken burger was "OK". Her Cajun fries were very nice though.
