Great location, lovely pool area, staff excellent, Breakfast very dissapointing.
Pros:

Pool area is lovely, Staff great, service very good

Cons:

Breakfast was disappointing. Plenty of everything but only just warm under the serving dishes. Items had been in the dishes far too long such as scrambled egg was dry and like rubber, Bacon burnt one side nearly raw on the other. as were the sausages. Cold continental was quite good.

Pretty good for short notice booking
Pros:

All staff very courteous and helpful

Cons:

There was no fried or poached eggs available at breakfast, even at request.
I am still owed £5 for choosing to not have the room serviced!
Although parking was available it was an extra cost that was not outlined at the booking.

Our favourite place for relax
Pros:

Both my family and I absolutely love this hotel. We visit several times a year as it’s one of our favourites. Whenever we need to escape our routines, we get in the car and drive there to enjoy a few lovely, relaxing days.

Cons:

Communication. We tried several times to contact them—by phone, by email, and through the app where we made the reservation—but they never respond.

Cons:

The room decoration is a bit drab, could do with brightening up.

Comfortable stay for one night
Pros:

Comfortable room and probably the best breakfast I've had in a hotel.

Cons:

Children in the small swimming pool with their parents which is completely understandable but means there is little opportunity for anyone else to have a proper swim.
