Aled

Liked: Cleanliness
The location of the hotel was good and overall the experience was fine, but I had a major issue with the air conditioning in my room. Unfortunately, it didn’t work, and despite raising it with reception, no one ever came to check it or offered me an alternative room. This meant I was stuck in an uncomfortably hot room throughout my stay, which made it difficult to relax or sleep properly. What I found most disappointing was that, when I raised the issue again in the morning, there was no apology or acknowledgment of the problem. A bit of care and accountability from the staff would have made a big difference. The hotel itself is decent, but the lack of follow-up and customer service around such a basic issue really let it down.

Great value great hotel

Hotel was lovely and clean, staff were very friendly and helpful. There was a lovely outside area overlooking a river. There was a bbq which was delicious. Bed was comfortable and towels were soft and good quality. Only issue was the taps in bathroom no markings on sink to say hot or cold and when we run the bath the cold water was so slow.

We had 2 rooms, both nice enough but 1 room had broken air conditioning and that was not repaired during our stay. Biggest gripe was the swimming pool was out of service and that is the main reason we booked that hotel.

Liked having a fridge. Excellent breakfast choice, better than most hotels these days (sadly).Being given the quiet room requested. Adequate coffee making facility. The only negatives were the awful design of the taps for the bath, shower and wash-basin. Also the extortionate, unfriendly and time consuming car parking. That alone would stop me staying again.
