Voldoende
Pros:

Ook weer meedenken met slechte lopen van mijn man. Kamer bg gegeven. Erg top ook dat we na lange dag met autopech nog een broodje konden krijgen omdat we niet hebben geluncht.

Cons:

Dat het tweepersoonsbed erg small was. En eten in hun restaurant erg matig.

Disappointing
Pros:

Looks wonderful but looks can be deceiving. Staff desperately need training and guidance. Chef needs more training. Whole place needs a huge kick up the backside

Cons:

Building work MUST be completed to a much higher standard BEFORE rooms are put into use. Lack of WiFi in annex. Dangerous lighting in annex corridor. Poor attention to detail.

Beyond appalling
Pros:

Firstly starting with booking.com falsely advertising that we would be staying at the old lodge but upon arrival got told we were actually staying elsewhere. This is despite the description saying the old lodge, all images showing the old lodge and the address given being the old lodge. We then got told by staff would could actually stay in the hotel if we paid £76 extra. Upon arriving at our actual place we had to stay our loft hatch was open. It was unreachable by me so I asked the staff to help close it, instead of helping and coming to look I just got told we would have to be moved into the main hotel but the other half of our party couldn’t. We checked into our new room and the wallpaper was coming off the walls, round the windows was all mouldy. Don’t get me started on the bathroom, if we run the sink tap the water wouldn’t go down the drain so we could even use the tap to wash hands or brush our teeth. The rotten egg smell that was overpowering coming from the drains it even made the staff take a step back at the door. The cleaner just put some bleach down and we where left in this stench. We booked in for an evening meal and the service was so slow despite only being 5 tables in the room. We waited so long for food and not even all our food came out and no staff around to ask when it would be coming. My child’s food came and it was awful so sent it back, almost 20 minutes later his ‘cheesy pasta’ arrived and let me tell you it was basically a bowl of pasta with about 3 slithers of grated cheese on it (I have photos) who likes to sit and eat dry pasta? Over all would not recommend on the hotel or booking through booking.com again

Cons:

Everything!

Hardly better than a Travelodge, yet twice the price
Pros:

Very spacious room which was well furnished and clean

Cons:

Poor directions on how to find the annex 100 metres from the main hotel in which our room was located
Mattress gave little support, and the pillows were useless
Wifi was not working throughout our stay
Constant road noise right outside the window till after 1am
We could hear every movement of the occupants in the room above

Enjoyable weekend apart from disturbed sleep due to drunken behaviour and building in need of TLCof
Pros:

Good location. Clean bedding

Cons:

In need of TLC. Disturbed sleep due to drunken guests being very loud. Breakfast good, evening meal disappointing, staff young and when asked what the butter was for in ploughman’s meal as there was no bread, was told possibly for the pork pie!
