Liked that it was very cosy, very comfortable bed, exceptionally helpful and polite staff. Liked the dining room and bar areas and the open fires. Impressive to see the pool and tennis courts. Very comfortable and relaxing stay and would definitely go back. Wasn't expecting nearly as much as it delivered. Small constructive criticisms: shampoo is in a container that is inaccessible from the bath; be good to have some loose soap for use there. The exterior (and some interior areas) could do with redecoration - peeling paint etc. However great venue.

We arrived weary from travelling for over 12 hours and in need of a sleep. We were met by a very friendly face at reception and given our room details. On opening the door of our room (no 23) we could smell damp but to be honest the need to sleep for a couple of hours soon made us blind to the smell. On wakening a few hours later though and the heating on in the room the smell was terrible. So much so my wife was having a little trouble breathing. On inspection of the room there was damp and mould on the walls and in a cupboard. In that cupboard was two large packs of disposable dehumidifiers. The room was certainly not fit to be in never mind paying for it. I asked about it at the reception and they knew nothing of the damp or mould problem but were quick in offering a more suitable accommodation. I do hope they sirt out their damp problems and omit guests from the room till they do so. Otherwise a nice warm and friendly hotel.

We had a really good time here. Staff were great, accommodation was good for the whole family, and the facilities were great. Looks as though it's currently undergoing some much needed updating. But apart from that, was a great hotel.
