Excellent 2 night stay
Pros:

Breakfast was very good, staff were excellent and couldn't do enough for us and our dog. Cream tea which we paid £24.95 including fizz, was huge, much bigger than we anticipated or expected. Our room was comfortable ( room 19) first night and then we changed as we stayed an extra night (room 34) slightly more expensive but bigger.

Cons:

Wifi issues after storm, but to be honest not really a massive issue. The only real issue was changing rooms. Checked out of first room, but couldn't then check back in to second room until 3pm which was inconvenient for us

Ok
Pros:

Grounds were nice and very well maintained. Nice to see EV charging, but disappointing to see EVs’s occupying them but not charging, we did not have an EV this time, but are conscious of how they are policed

Cons:

Parts of the hotel are very tired and in need of refurbishment, the room was ice cold on arrival and I had to turn on the radiator myself, no WiFi or internet access, my wife needed to finalise some international business. Change your address to the small lane, update your parking area to accommodate more modern bigger vehicles.

Pros:

Mooie plek, prima hotel. Het is een beetje vergane glorie, maar dat is juist ook wel sfeervol. Erg vriendelijk personeel. Zwembad is prima! Goed restaurant, goed ontbijt.

A great place for a short break.
Pros:

The views of the lake from the lovely garden and the swimming pool.

Cons:

Would have preferred more home cooked food in the restaurant. Breakfast was good - especially the cooked to order poached eggs.

Absolute waste of money
Pros:

A nice old building

Cons:

On arrival, I noticed the hotel did not smell clean and fresh. There was a musty odor”visible dirt”,This made the stay uncomfortable and fell short of what I expect from a hotel at this standard. Also book a sea view got a room looking at the car park was told that’s all we had left all Seaview had been booked very disappointed
