At the moment there are building works ongoing, but I'm sure that will be short lived. A little confusion around the breakfast situation, I read on Expedia that you can book a breakfast that will be served in a hamper to your room, when we mentioned this to the guy at check in, he told us that they haven't provided that service for years! Only to read on the guest information sheet supplied in the room that you can book a breakfast that will be provided in a hamper to your room!!!! This mis information needs sorted to avoid further confusion for guests. Other than that we had a great stay, location is great, parking was no problem. Could do with some way of providing further milk and sugars for the tea and coffee making.

The room looked very different to the room in the booking photo, a lot smaller, and the shower was very compact, however the room was clean and tidy and ideal just to get our heads down for the night. No dealings with the staff as didn’t see anyone.

The property was nicely decorated, however my room was a double which was located on the second floor. The room did have a double bed in it and tea/coffee making facilties however there were narrow stairs as soon as you opened the door which meant going down towards the bed. Which barely fitted in the area. The bathroom has a shower cubicle and toilet but had no room for a sink which was located in the actual room. There was maybe a foot space along one side of the bed and the other side was pushed against a wall. Had there been 2 of us in the room we would have struggled to move within it. It also smelled like it needed airing, maybe they had been closed for a while and not aired bedding?, Im not sure. I felt that for what it offered it was overpriced.

The hotel is conveniently located but there was no parking due to on going works. The room is tired, the tv at a peculiar angle to the bed so difficult to watch. The remote control for the tv didn’t match the tv. The room was right at the top of the building after some difficult and steep stairs.

Room was very small but adequate for our 2 night stay. The shower tray kept filling up with water which was very annoying. The room wasn't cleaned for our 2nd night so had to use wet towels.See older reviews ,shower issue has been ongoing. Would stay again but ask for a different room. Location and parking was great.

The window rattled in the room and therefore it had to be propped out which meant it was cold. There were no cups in the room and I had to hunt for the remote control in another room. The television is at a strange angle so it’s difficult to watch. There was a room available opposite which would have been more comfortable yet we were out in this one.

As soon as I arrived in the hotel car park, one of the hosts came out to ask why I was parking there (my guess is they have a lot of people trying to park who don’t stay there), he then took my name, told me to move my car because they were fully booked for the night. I moved as per his request, he then said reverse more to which I said how do you expect me to get my things out the boot. It was all a bit much especially when there was plenty of space for others to get in (When I got back from the town and left the same cars were parked there so not sure why he made a fuss, if they don’t want people to park in certain parts of the car park put a sign there). His whole approach was not very welcoming. Once I finally got inside his wife seemed nice, she explained where my room is, what to do, etc. but felt the start of the experience was ruined by her interrogating husband. I made my way up to room 9 and the smell was horrible. The window was left open which had let several bugs and moths in. The room was so small the only standing space was taken up by my suitcase. I went out to grab food to watch the sunset which didn’t happen, the sunset was blocked by a hill in the lake. Went to three pubs that stopped serving food at approximately 20:00, I did find one eventually. The bed was uncomfortable and was kept up by the noise of cars and people walking past. It was also very cold but they had provided a heater. The bathroom was tiny and had hair in the shower and a dead bug on the

Worst hotel ever

They sold me room 3 which was advertised as a room with a king size bed, with a bay window, sofa etc. just a generally nice looking room. The guy who checked us took payment for the room and gave us our keys. When we got to our room it was a small double bed, the room was small, dated, ripped bath towels, ripped wallpaper. When I asked to be put in the correct room I was told it was unavailable and his son lives in that room. Apparently it was Expedia’s fault and not there’s even though I tried to say I booked through hotels.com He said he’d refund me but only on his terms of waiting 5 hours for his wife to come home. It escalated in me calling the police and he was gesturing an offensive sign to me. Lots of videos to follow of the room and the owner so show how disgusting this place is. Don’t ever stay here it’s awful and scammers.
