What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Charming Pool Area

I truly enjoyed the little time spent in the pool area, which was a cozy size but comfortable enough. The jacuzzi was both refreshing and relaxing, making the experience worthwhile after a long day of activities. The atmosphere was peaceful, perfect for unwinding.

Delicious Dining Deals

The half-board option was an very nice experience. With three delicious courses available for just £12.50, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety and flavor. Each meal felt like a special occasion, especially with the lovely buffet offerings for breakfast that catered to everyone’s tastes.

Historic Charm

The hotel itself is a grand old Victorian structure with beautiful high ceilings and intricate glass decor that captured my attention. Each corner brought a piece of history, and I appreciated the character of the place while enjoying a unique sense of nostalgia during my stay.

My recent stay at this hotel presented a mixed experience. The charming historical character and friendly staff stood out positively, but the rundown facilities and dated decor left much to be desired. It seems like it has potential to be a lovely getaway, but overall maintenance and service consistency need significant improvement.

My stay was quite a mix of experiences. The staff were genuinely welcoming, and I appreciated their attentiveness. However, I noticed that the hotel has seen better days, with some areas in need of a refresh. The location is convenient for accessing local attractions, which is a definite plus. The dining experience, particularly the breakfast, left a bit to be desired, but overall, it was worth the price I paid.
