Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were fresh, brand new, tastefully decorated, and very comfortable. They were exceptionally clean and comfortable, decorated to a high standard. However, I couldn't find the switch for the bathroom extractor fan.
The hotel had rooms that were clean and comfortable, with friendly staff, great location, but some aspects were below expectations. The service was friendly but not consistent. The dining experience had some highs and lows. The hotel's location was beautiful for walks but lacked the same quality in some areas. The facilities were decent overall.
The hotel boasts well-finished, very clean rooms with a heated floor in the bathroom, comfortable beds, a great coffee/water station, and a quiet environment. The downside was that facilities like the leisure center's pool were only being turned on at a later time, and some room fittings were slightly off. Despite that, the overall experience in this lovely hotel was enjoyable.
