Could only order the 2 for one cocktails in a certain bar but you could then take them in the other bar after!? Made no sense. Decor is very dated. Food was very good from restaurant. Jacuzzi was out of action again. Was an ok stay but would not return

Enjoyable stay but mattress had seen better days
Lovely location. Super lovely staff. Great buffet breakfast. Rooms are beige but nice. Bathrooms in good condition. Lots of space. Quiet AC. Lots of storage. Big downside was the bed. Lumpy and uncomfortable. A shame because everything else was more than adequate.

Hotel is in a good position, easy access to major roads, yet set in lovely countryside. Rooms were spacious and clean, comfortable beds. However, the cost of our room did not match quality of service provided and our stay was mared by patronising, brusque and dismissive communication by some members of the team.

Terrible food
Room and staff were good but the restaurant has changed the menu to what looks like a pub menu. What they have, isn't cooked particularly well either. Scampi on the first night was overcooked and rock hard on the coating. Second night, the sausages were swimming in a disgusting concentrated sauce that was supposed to be onion gravy. Far too much of it. There was also a group of about 10 men on a table that were so loud, no one else in the restaurant could hold a conversation. Staff only asked them to be quiet, when people complained. Not the sort of dining experience I would expect from a supposedly 4 star hotel. The breakfast was also poor. Very tired looking selection with poor choices. Het with the times and cook to order and get rid of the chaffing dishes!! Glad I hadn't brought any business associates here to eat on my recommendation, I would have been embarrassed!!!
