Pros:

The room was amazing clean and spacious, finishing touches were the swans on the bed

Cons:

Well it is not that we didn't like it, but the evening meal was okay, as a professional cook, the food was very bland, the sirloin steak, I would have expected a flamed grilled, it was more off a steak cooked in the red wine, steak casserole which was steak pie, certainly could have tasted with seasoning.

This mornings breakfast was okay for a buffet style, however when my wife went to get breakfast she had to wait as the table of 10 kept going back up for more, so, I had already finished my breakfast as she still had not had her, poached egg was delivered and was then cold.

Would visit again but meals need to improve

Staff made the stay great
Pros:

The staff are so lovely and had a really lovely one night stay room was lovely. The pool looked good

Cons:

The food was terrible and we got money taken off. The menu needs to be looked into. I didn’t finish my meal as it was really poor. The bacon didn’t look cooked. I think it was microwaved the chips were raw. The food was just terrible. If we knew the menu was not the same online we would have gone out somewhere else. The bar was full so couldn’t sit at the bar either.

Overall it was fine and would have been made better with more consistency of service.
Pros:

Breakfast was adequate. The cooked to order provision was much nicer.

Cons:

Some inconsistencies with staff demeanour. The initial welcome and help offered by receptionist was excellent. Some waiting staff were v friendly others not.

Worst hotel stay I’ve ever had. Won’t be back
Pros:

The food in the evening was so good, staff in the restaurant were lovely

Cons:

Room was freezing cold, heating didn’t work, shower was broken at first causing fire alarm to go off, rooms were dated, walls were dripping with water, paint was flaking off. Decor is dated, it was the worst stay in a hotel I’ve ever had. Breakfast was not good. We checked out early because my kids wanted to ‘go home and get warm’

Pros:

Měli jsme dobrou večeři v restauraci.

Cons:

Neskutečné horko v pokoji přes noc. Měli jsme k dispozici jen ventilátor a nedalo se tam spát.

Pros:

Struttura grande con vari servizi, camera pulita ed abbastanza spaziosa

Cons:

Nell'ala dove eravamo alloggiati non è presente l'ascensore e la nostra camera era al secondo piano; per noi non è stato un problema ma per alcuni potrebbe esserlo. La cosa dovrebbe venire comunicata in anticipo.
