Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is cozy and comfortable but falls short due to the outdated rooms that need maintenance, especially the bathroom. The staff's behavior was not very welcoming and lacked attentiveness, which affected the overall experience. However, the location offers serene surroundings for walks and socializing, although some aspects could use improvement such as cleanliness and service.
The hotel is situated in a great location near a beautiful country park, offering lovely walks and a quiet retreat. While the rooms were spacious and clean, the noise from the old staircase was disruptive during the night. The service was friendly but had a few delays. The dining experience was enjoyable with a good selection of food. Overall, a nice place for a peaceful stay in nature.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were nice and spacious but cleanliness was a major issue, with dirty bedding and unhygienic conditions. The staff were friendly but seemed overwhelmed and unapologetic about the issues raised. The location was beautiful, surrounded by parkland, but the dining experience left much to be desired with poor food quality. Overall, the value for money was questionable due to the cleanliness and service issues.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were at the top of the building, large, and spacious, but unfortunately very cold and drafty, especially in the middle of winter. The service was professional and put me at ease, though they weren't interested in my complaints upon departure. The location was ideal for access to the park and surrounding areas, but it was a bit challenging to find without a GPS. The dining was decent, but there were delays in getting freshly cooked items for breakfast. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement.
