Poor hot water supply for showering, had a tepid water shower, my wife didn’t shower because of water temperature, basically no improvement since our last visit. I informed reception and they both looked at each other and in unison replied O’ yes we will inform maintenance ! knowing full well the poor water temperature is a ongoing issue! Doh!

The room is huge as is the bathroom. We enjoyed the sauna, pool and hot tub (which wasn't very hot) a nice way to relax. Had dinner there as well, the pizza was excellent.

Good sized lovely looking hotel. Comfortable spacious room (suite) but in need of a refurb overall. The fixed menu 'table d'hôte' wasn't great but the breakfast was excellent. Good service and friendly staff. A 10 minute walk into town. If you want to walk, turn right as you exit the front door and you'll see a path down to the road.

Great hotel in an excellent location, just a short walk from the station. The pool and jacuzzi are lovely, and while the hotel could use a little TLC, it only adds to its charm. The breakfast was excellent – highly recommended. Thank you 😊

Solid nights sleep.

Staff were attentive and knowledgeable about the area. Leisure facilities were great. Room was very spacious although shower head was very narrow and felt like a hose rather than a shower. But other than that, no complaints.

Love where the hotel is great location and parking was fine Felt staff were not too helpful at times especially when trying to get a soft drink or tea at the bar. I had a problem with the fan in the bathroom which made a terrible noise the first night I switched it on and then stopped working. I reported it in the morning and was told someone would fix it but it never happened which was not too good when having showers etc
