A good location to meet up with family
Pros:

Welcoming staff, good food and they were very accommodating with our big party.

Our accommodation was good, spacious and a lovely view of the lake. A good selection of team/coffee making facilities
The buffet style was plentiful and nice.

Cons:

The bathroom could do with a little updating. the shower wasn't good enough and it was either hot or cold. Why do we still need a bath, maybe walk in showers are the way to go.

Good option for a short stay. Clean, tidy and value for money.
Pros:

Evening meals were very good and drinks reasonably priced.
Staff were excellent and very helpful.

Cons:

Breakfast choice was a little limited if you didn't like full English. More fresh fruit options would have been nice.
Hotel is next to a busy road so front rooms would be noisy.

A very enjoyable comfortable stay with free safe car park.
Pros:

The breakfast was very good for both continental abd full English. Freshly cooked hot and items replaced quickly if they ran out. Our room was upgraded and we much enjoyed the river view.

Cons:

Nothing really , perhaps a bowl of fresh fruit at breakfast although berries were provided.
