Alderford Lake

The unit that we booked for 2 person comes with two separate beds, for the price we paid and the location the hotel is at, the hotel is a good choice if you want to go around.

There were three positives of Novotel - the powerful shower head, iron & ironing board, and the size of the room. The downsides considering the room doesn't come cheap and the hotel brand name - no standard amenities in the bathroom - no hair conditioner, no body lotion, no cotton buds etc. The toilet is separate from the bathroom so super unhygienic. The carpet in the room is dirty, with stains throughout and there are no room slippers, so talk about uncleanliness and dirty feet. Also the drain in the bath is super slow or blocked, so your standing in dirty water and have tonrewash your feet from outside of the bath.

Great hotel but it clearly needs a refurb now. The rooms are nice but the decor a bit old fashioned and showing signs of a lot of wear and tear. The corridors and panelling are chipped and bashed and the pool area and sauna etc missing tiles. It’s in a great location and the rooms and bathrooms are a great size and the mattress really comfy. Staff are really helpful and the onsite bar and restaurant are really nice. As I say, just needs a refurb to bring it up to speed.
