Foods always good but I stay over for a good nights sleep but having 2 beds attached leaving a rock hard lump down the middle of the bed is not comfy at all! Wouldn’t be nice for a couple to stay in

Room was excellent but whatever have you done to the dining area?!!! It used to be nice comfy chairs and (for breakfast) a relaxing and quiet atmosphere that made breakfast something to look forward to. Instead there is now ‘basic’ seating and a very echoey atmosphere that must be due in no small part to the now lack of upholstery and possibly carpet area. In short the echoey sounds made it not much better than a company cafeteria. Quite disappointing and if the hotel wasn’t so convenient and nice in other ways it might well be a case of looking elsewhere for a better breakfast dining experience.

All staff were warm, friendly, and very informative. The room was clean spacious and very quiet great for a good night's sleep. There was plenty of choice for breakfast both continental and hot. The restaurant has beautiful views of the lake and surrounding garden. Very happy would go back to stay again.

Would have liked a cooked breakfast at 06:30, but had to settle for a continental as hot meal service does not start until 07:00, which was too late for me as I needed to leave for my appointment at 07:10. 4 pillows supplied all as hard as bricks, very uncomfortable, not a good nights sleep. Rest of the hotel was fine from what I saw.
