Nice stay
The stay was really lovely, the room was basic and it need of a little update. Good food and drinks and sitting by the lake was a nice touch. The biggest downfall was being on the 2nd floor with no balcony or terrace.

Helpful and friendly staff who are a credit to this welcoming dog friendly venue. Nice terrace area. Spacious room overlooking fish filled lake that is playground to ducks & moorhens. Added bonus of ceiling fan that was much appreciated on balmy evening. Other reviews have commented on dated decor but personally liked the décor aesthetic.

Nice hotel but a little dated.
Nice hotel with a nice view over the lake. Room was spacious but decor was dated and very old fashioned. Towels were a little threadbear and frayed. Pillows were flat and not very comfortable. TV tiny and a little lost on the wall. Think the hotel needs a refresh. Staff however were pleasant and helpful.

Dated, but very clean.
Room was as expected, very dated. However, most importantly, it was very clean. Also, surprisingly very spacious with a gorgeous view of the lake and patio area directly outside our bedroom. Food quality as expected for the price. We were there attending a party with a tribute night. It was packed, with a great atmosphere. We would stay again for similar event.

Disliked: Staff & service
Staff were not particularly friendly, couldn’t help but feel everything was a chore. At breakfast one member of staff “sounded off” to another staff member about one of the tables. I’m sure this happens but don’t do it in the dining room for other guests to hear! The hotel is situated close to a busy road but with the windows closed it was barely a murmur. I would guess they are trying to save on power costs as the “hot” water was just a little above luke warm. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was good and for the price (it was about£40 cheaper than the rest) it was good for an overnight stay.
