The staff are very helpful and polite. The room was lovely, with a spacious bathroom. Close to all transport links but also not too far to walk to the lake. Noticed a bike hire shop over by the train station too. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay there again.

Better than expected.

We were in room 34. It was a spacious room which was clean and comfortable; some creaky floors though. Evening meal and breakfast both good and staff helpful.

Excellent Lakes Stay

We booked a superior room which was excellent and had views of the lake. We were a ljttle apprehensive when booking after reading some reviews but we absolutely did nit need to worry. Excellent hotel and really good value for money. Tip pay the extra £10 per couple for breakfast as is very good for the money. We would definitely stay again. Well done.

Had a lovely stay

Had a lovely stay here, staff were polite, room was clean and bed was comfy. The location was great. We stayed for 3 nights but the room was not cleaned once. It was not a problem for us as we kept it clean but other people might not feel the same.

We stayed one night, my only negative was the shower not draining as it should and flooding the bathroom, I was in less than 5 minutes, just got out , and there was a member of staff knocking at the door because water was leaking downstairs. He gave us detailed instructions on how to use the shower and not to let the water past the trap which is ridiculous. They need to get this sorted as it must happen all the time. Nice big room and breakfast was nice and staff friendly, good value.

Couldn’t wait to leave- disappointing.

Stays for 2 nights at this very poorly managed hotel. The room requested was lake view. Well it had some little stream of water view when u stand and look over the window. Let alone room service there was not even a provision of a simple jug of water for guest on arrival, forget about mineral water. Which is very basic necessity since people could be travelling from far. And may need to have medicines or even otherwise. The windows need upgrade to at least double glaze on this road side building with very heavy traffic even at night. The carpet was dirty with stains on it, one very visible just by the window itself. The pillows were absolutely flat with no cotton that caused us sore back and neck. There were cockroaches in the bathroom. The shower head was leaking. The handle rail had rust on it. No one came to tidy up the bed for 2nd day. And we found the room as it was left when returned to retire back to another sleepless night. The night manager/caretaker was a European rude guy who I requested as a disable driver, yet didn’t allow us to park outside an empty area, over- looking his reception area, which doesn’t block any other vehicle, only to find out it was absolutely okay for another driver to park their car in the same spot, with no badge displayed. This can be checked and verified if there are any cctv monitoring. The lift needs upgrade as its not doable friendly and cannot fit a wheelchair and assistant with a disable person
