While the hotel wasn't immediately in town, it was a short drive, and allowed for a quieter environment. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. I'd definitely stay again if I am in the area!

What a great location and stunning view. The staff were excellent the property was clean and no complaints from any of the four rooms we had booked. the bar was very reasonably priced as were evening meals. The buffet breakfast is well worth the money booking the night before will save a little but either way excellent value. We would stay here again

This is a difficult hotel to review. My room was very small and felt very old, dated and cheap. However, the staff were great and the dinning options within the hotel were really good. I ate some food in the bar/lobby area at night and it was great and the breakfast included with my stay the next morning was fantastic.

The hotel is lovely and staff are helpful. The food was not so great at all. I ordered a chicken curry and it was 100% out a jar and the garlic bread was cooked from frozen and very hard. I did not have breakfast but it would be nice of the hotel had some home cooked food. The drinks were extremely over priced! The rooms were lovely and clean and parking was great too - the views were great!

Good base for walks in the area. Reception & dining area nice. Breakfast self service, range of food ok. Room clean but very warm due to large central heating pipe running through it. Rooms clean but could probably do with a freshen up. Would stay there again.

Stopover going home from holiday

The room and the bathroom was clean, but the room looked tired and in general could do with a few refurbs e.g. the handle and lock on the bathroom door, room 307. Staff were courteous and helpful. food was also good considering the number of guests on a bus tour.
