A good place to stay with friendly staff in a lovely setting
Pros:

The staff are always very friendly and helpful. The setting with the reservoir at the back of the property where you can go for a walk is very pleasant.

Cons:

I have stayed in this hotel many times over the past 15 years. The rooms though still comfortable would be improved with a little updating and it is a shame that the swimming pool and spa are now closed. Though the gym is now open again.

Cons:

Needs to be refurbished no sockets next to the bed, old tv’s you can keep a classic look but a little modernisation wouldn’t hurt.

Breakfast buffet a bit mediocre.

The walls are thin you could hear everything.
