Jennifer

Disliked: Cleanliness
The floors needed a good old clean & carpets smelled like old pub carpets along the corridor. Feels like it needs a good old spring clean to freshen things up! The bar area is too dark to see the menu, had to get a torch light from my phone. The staff were helpful & helped us with any problems although breakfast waiter had forgotten to take our order & then arrived with fried instead of poached egg (which was unfortunately overcooked!) On a good note, the view of the lake was absolutely amazing & plenty of parking onsite.

This hotel is a good place to stay if you have a pet and the pet will be staying in the room by itself. The carpets in the hallway were 10 years overdue for a change. As a couple, we were provided with only one bath towel and 2 other hand towels. When I called reception to ask for an extra bath towel, the Indian gentleman rudely asked men to come downstairs and get it myself. If I was asking for an unusual item or something that was a favour, I would understand. A towel is a basic necessity. The decor in the rooms were Elizabethan and the hotel had the stench of marshland. The hotel is worth £40 per night at best. The plus side is ample parking.

Great location to Cyclopark being only a short drive away - hotel is a bit dated but is clean and rooms are comfy and spacious - breakfast wasn’t brilliant with choices and freedom to have croissants etc - cooked breakfast was ok though - it is a budget hotel though - lovely quiet area and great views over the lake - friendly staff.
