Pros:

Easy to find, well worth paying extra for a lakeside view. Room definitely needs a refresh, but you get what you pay for. Fan kept us cool in very warm weather.

Cons:

Unfortunately we had very noisy and inconsiderate neighbours staying next door which spoilt the first night of our stay. Poor breakfast and timings of it not great!

Nice little break away. Enjoyed my stay
Pros:

The rooms were comfortable and clean. The view from my room my lovely overlooking the lakes. I had a massage in the Rejuvenation Room with Sam which was absolutely fantastic. Highly worth a visit to have a massage.

Cons:

The staff were a bit unfriendly. The food was very average. Decor was a bit dated and could do with a freshen up.

L’hôtel est bien situé pour visiter le Kent, car l’accès à l’autoroute est proche . Dommage qu’il n’y ai pas plus de cho
Pros:

L’accès à l’autoroute.

Cons:

La route est un peu proche, donc quand on est côté route on entend un peu les voitures. Le plat du petit déjeuner fait au moment ezt bien mais du coup pas trop d’autre chose à manger .
