Hotel is quite dated but good for night’s stay. Lake and surroundings are very lovely (didn’t get the time to look around properly).
Bed is comfortable and staff are professional. In terms of amenities, there isn’t really any. I did see they had spa facilities? But can’t comment on that.
Overall average.

Great location, lovely walk around the lake and nearby woodlands. Staff are friendly and service is good. Rooms are outdated and could do with a lot of modernisation, unfortunately, is not even on par with some travelodges. Walls are hollow so can hear noise and voices from neighbouring rooms. Rooms are not sparkling clean, you will get what is expected of a 3 star hotel. Breakfast is just ok. Overall, if you’re looking for a stopover for the night and want to wake up to beautiful views then definitely book a room with a view and not the standard room which may end up overlooking the A2. We did however, book a lakeside room that was allocated on the second floor and the view was very nice indeed.

Good hotel for the piece. Could be cleaner and service from staff could be better. Cannot complain for the price though. Also had a nice lakeside view. Would stay again :)

Unfortunately the one star is for friendly welcoming day staff and the beautiful lake area. Staying here Has to be one the worst nights sleep I've ever had. Luckily we was only staying one night. A night from hell. The hotel according to Google opened in 1990 and is still owned today by the same owners. I would say it looks to me the bedrooms are exactly as they were when the hotel was built 35years ago. The pink bathroom for sure, I know I grew up in the 80s. We had same bathroom. But worst part was being woken up in early hours of morning by guests in the nextdoor room screaming at each other in an argument. Mainly the woman who was clearly intoxicated and also thought it was acceptable in the early hours of the morning to slam doors, go up and down the corridor and make weird animal noises. One point she must of taken something as the man shouted what have you taken, how many have you had, you going to get us in trouble, and you need to make yourself sick, and it went on and on.....Not what I want to hear in the early hours of the morning. I don't believe that anyone working night shift didn't hear what was going on. And I wasnt going to go and speak to the couple or try to find night staff. These days you can't be too safe. So we remained in our room with the door locked. It was only in the morning I noticed 1980s telephone by the bed, not sure if it worked and went down to reception or not but too late then. I mean, telephones like that these days in hotel. Couldn't wait to leave.

Opened a £1 transaction and it's not been released 3 weeks later. It feels like my card is being held to ransom. I have contacted the hotel and got a non-answer in return: not their problem.

We are staying here this weekend for our anniversary. Have a king size Lakeview room which although is a little dated is clean and very big. The food so far whether it be breakfast or dinner has been fine so far and all staff have been helpful. A pleasant surprise from all the negative reviews.

Where do I start? Probably decorated last in the 1970s, corridor carpets threadbaer in places and look filthy. Bar closes at 9.30!!! This is supposed to be a hotel! No pizza available on Monday but when we did have one on Wednesday it was good. The rest of the food was decidely average and the 2 blondes ladies working the bar and waitressing need to cherr up a LOT. The breakfast was so poor that we only went onece. The coffee was at one end of a room and the cereals etc at the other, so if one went to get a coffee to take to ones table there were no cups as they were on the table. Had to walk back to the table to retieve a cup - so much easier if the wiater had served it at the table. The plates for the toast were much smaller than one slice of toast so buttering it became a challenge, expecially if one had two pieces.Vegan offerings were small and poor quality. Carpet in the bedroom was rucked up in places and well worn. Reading light above the bed was almost falling off and as for the TV one needed binoculars to watch it as it was smaller than a small T towel. Dogs everywhere...including one who deposited his pooh outside our bedroom door!! All in all poor and we will not be returning.
