Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was a pleasant surprise with a comfortable room and friendly service. However, there were some issues with noise disturbances and cleanliness. Overall, a decent stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was great, surrounded by countryside, with good motorway links, but the area was sometimes littered with plastic cups. The service was mostly friendly and helpful, although there were instances of unprofessional behavior. The dining options were varied, but the quality was not consistent. The facilities were decent overall, offering a comfortable stay with a few drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were split into two, offering a sitting area and separate bedroom, though the heating issue wasn't resolved despite requests. The breakfast quality was good, but the constant restocking delays made it less enjoyable. Dining felt a bit crowded and overhearing conversations was common.
