Stayed overnight. Great rooms. Great staff. Easy parking. The only thing that let us down was the food at the club.

Very nice place with open space next to river. Clean with dinning hotel next to that. Plenty of car park. Reception was so friendly. A nice shopping centre in a 5 min drive. Down side: about driving to Newcastle, close to train rail, as result noisy time to time. I don't get why for such relax place we should get noise of early morning lawn mowing machine. Bottom of shower screen was a bit mouldy.

Loved the hotel, the Bistro was adequate but we would opt to eat out next visit. We had a lake view and it was very quiet and peaceful to sit at our patio table and watch the sun go down.
