I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were cozy and had a nice garden view, the service was friendly but a bit slow at times. The location was lovely, but the dining experience left something to be desired. Overall, it was a comfortable stay at a reasonable price.

The hotel is located on an industrial park, which might not be ideal for everyone, but it's very close to everything, although you would need to drive. The rooms have large comfortable beds, providing a good night's sleep, however, the dining experience could be improved with warmer food. The service from the staff was brilliant and polite, with the manager going the extra mile to assist guests. Overall, the value for money is good considering the amenities offered.

The hotel is situated in a lovely area by the lake, very close to everything with a delightful nearby pub. The rooms offer very comfortable beds with extra pillows and a good view, perfect for relaxing or working. The service was brilliant, with the staff being very pleasant and polite, even going the extra mile to assist with arranging taxis. The dining experience included fresh Mediterranean dishes, though some items were not served at the ideal temperature. The facilities are of a good standard, providing a pleasant stay overall.
