Overall impression was of a dated, dirty hotel in serious need of updating, maintenance and investment. Some staff clearly need training.

Bar prices
Great hotel, swimming pool really good size that you can actually swim in. jacuzzi would be good in the future.
Bar prices unrealistic - spirit with mixer and zero beer just less than £20, won't pay that again.

Lovely location with good countryside views. We found the waiting staff and one night male receptionist were not very welcoming with a smile 🙁 Daytime female receptionist was jolly and chatty and helpful 😀.
The bed maker made the quilt cover too short and didn’t reach our shoulders. Following morning we pulled the excess quilt cover out of the bottom of the bed and had a better warm night sleep. Very good breakfast.

A dated, but ok hotel
The hotel is good where the staff work hard to try and give good service. It’s a dated hotel - floral room decor and brass fittings etc. nice enough, but don’t expect modern or updated fit-out. The pool/spa area is pretty good - we enjoyed a swim and a sauna. Breakfast was ok - presentation a bit questionable but overall tasty and good quality.

Was all fine, apart from the room being very cold and the heater didn't seem to do anything even when turned up, the towel rail also didn't want to work and when you tried to turn it on the knob came away exposing wires.
Otherwise was a nice place to stay for the price.

Stayed here for one night with my partner, room was nice, basic and clean. Comfortable bed. Horrible shower that went really hot and really cold intermittently. Quite expensive food and drink wise. The breakfast was awful… so so bad.
Nice pool. Nice Surroundings. Friendly staff.

Prepare to work for your stay
Even though it was a little dated, the hotel was nice and comfortable. It’s a beautiful location and we did lots of walking and enjoyed the pool and steam room.
However the service was poor at best. Breakfast was pure comedy. On the night of stay, I was frustrated to have to wait 15 mins plus to order a drink and then despite sitting patiently at the bar for 15 mins, the bar served someone who arrived behind me.
We waited so long to be served we went to another local pub for more drinks.
Breakfast was hilarious. We waited 30 mins to be seated in a queue, whilst looking at at least 10 empty tables. The food was quite nice but the service was so slow to clear tables that other hotel guests started clearing and cleaning tables to help get the queue moving. Never seen anything like a child cleaning tables at a hotel his parents paid for. Some young lass was literally telling staff what to do. Then to top it off one of the candle heaters under the food somehow grew to an actual fire. Another guest in a strong Scottish accent shouted ‘Fire. There’s a fire. Is there a fire extinguisher or a blanket’ to which no staff responded. Some guy put out the fire and everyone cheered. Breakfast was funny and quite tasty.

Having stayed here in the past I found this hotel disappointing no tv working in bedroom despite staff effort to fix it. We found the bed less than comfortable and noisy from the road Evening meal had to be reheated all of which means I may not be returning to this Hotel

The room could do with refurbishing the arm chairs were very low and difficult to get out off. The bathroom ceiling was slightly mouldy from the shower. The breakfast was fine but disappointing as the bacon was smoky and no jam for the toast.
