Lovely hotel with beautiful views, very comfy bed, spotless room, delicious food. Not 5 stars because some waiting staff need training. Lovely and friendly place, thanks all.

Good hotel, rooms are nice and comfy and modern ISH. Friendly staff. There is a gym you can use if you phone and book in. It's only small but has the basics for a decent workout. 8/2/22 the bar was closed so just the one bar/restaurant. Food is good and they have a very good selection of drinks at a fair price. Seemed to be some repairs and maintenance happening near the bar area so perhaps the separate sports bar is due to be open soon. Enjoyed my stay and managed to get a good night's sleep. Will be back.

Christmas lunch very disappointing. Starter very nice. Main course terrible vegetables like bullets served on cold plates and dishes with turkey balls with stuffing like fast food fare. Expensive for what you get including drinks. Slow service considering we were the only people there dreary atmosphere. Never again

Lovely setting and I think deserves more custom than it seems to get. Visited for a party which was well hosted with good food. It's been around for many years and we in fact had our wedding reception there 38 years ago! It is still a welcoming and pleaent atmospher with great facilities. Price wise I'm not sure as we didn't pay for the party but I believe it was competitive. And being 'out of town' there was huge parking facilities, beds for overnighters and a golf course! Swimming is also available but currently under repair and there is a gym. A great facility in a convenient location.
