We enjoyed our stay, but very over priced for the overall state of the hotel
Pros:

The hotel is located perfectly on the Oulton Broad, good distance to plenty of places.

Cons:

The hotel was a little tired, it should have been reflected in the price, Id expect nothing less than a clean room, not scratches and paint missing, stains, rather noisy, and overall this was over priced.
The staff were very good, front of desk and managers. One of the bar staff not overly helpful, a little rude, and hard to book a table, after lots of questions, even tho we were staying there. This took the shine off our meal. More training for younger staff. Customer service is no doubt what brings customers back.

Apart from hassle finding table for dinner a great stay!
Pros:

Excellent room (209) with the best view in town out over Oulton Broad. Good food…both dinner and breakfast.

Cons:

No one at reception on arrival. We were not told we should book table for evening when checking in. Tried online when booking room but no bookings available Sunday. Should have been asked at check in if wanted table for dinner. It was resolved but a hassle that could have been avoided. As we looked around several tables reserved, which we could not understand as could not book online before arrival. Staff member did resolve it and found us a table.
