Stayed for two days. Room key didn't work a couple of times, had to walk down the stairs to get it fixed. Overall, nice environment, enjoyed the quiet. Swimming pool, spa, sauna and gym all worth it.

Lovely venue. Much bigger than I had anticipated. Yet still lots of nooks and crannies to sit in peace. Breakfast very good including gluten free options. Access to the pool and sauna excellent. Front desk staff engaging and helpful. Zero complaints. Top marks

We arrived weary from travelling for over 12 hours and in need of a sleep. We were met by a very friendly face at reception and given our room details. On opening the door of our room (no 23) we could smell damp but to be honest the need to sleep for a couple of hours soon made us blind to the smell. On wakening a few hours later though and the heating on in the room the smell was terrible. So much so my wife was having a little trouble breathing. On inspection of the room there was damp and mould on the walls and in a cupboard. In that cupboard was two large packs of disposable dehumidifiers. The room was certainly not fit to be in never mind paying for it. I asked about it at the reception and they knew nothing of the damp or mould problem but were quick in offering a more suitable accommodation. I do hope they sirt out their damp problems and omit guests from the room till they do so. Otherwise a nice warm and friendly hotel.

We had a really good time here. Staff were great, accommodation was good for the whole family, and the facilities were great. Looks as though it's currently undergoing some much needed updating. But apart from that, was a great hotel.
