I've known about this place for many years and always wanted to stay because it looked such an idyllic spot. I used to live nearby and could never warrant a stay back then. The rooms are nicely laid out and spacious but the room we had seemed in need of refurbishment, redecoration and general maintenance. I'd image in in a... More

No other issues, though. Our deal included free meal for two at their restaurant. The food was ok, but I... More

The rooms were clean and comfortable, with all the usual amenities. We came for dinner that evening; the menu had plenty of choice and at a reasonable price. The Waiting staff were... More

Well,, what can I say. The reviews were so bad that I rang the hotel to make sure the reviewers had got it wrong. I have to say, my mind was not put at rest as the person I spoke to was jumpy to say the least. However, I needed to book something at short notice so I booked a... More
