Hotel was very good. Lovely clean modern room with super comfy bed. Staff were all excellent, friendly and helpful. The hotel is in beautiful scenery and I'm sure it is lovely to sit on the terrace outside restaurant and bar in the summer. Food was very good too.

My room was a little tired and in need of some repairs, but it wasn’t expensive and it was clean and comfortable. Evening meal and breakfast both very good. I’d be happy to go back when the repairs have been completed.

Our room was small but well appointed. It was comfortable, clean and we rested well. We had dinner out back with a propane heater on and a wonderful relaxing view. The food was good. The drinks were good. The staff were very friendly. While we were waiting for dinner we went for a quick walk down to the river. Very pretty. The location is beautiful, out in nature not a bustling city street. Great place to unwind. We had a lovely fresh breakfast before we made our way to experience more adventures. We would stay again!

Needs attention Place is run down and lifeless. Windows are in a bad shape and bins full in view of windows. There was a hairball on the carpet so not cleaned properly.

Terrible food The staff were nice enough but there were only 4 main meal options. The food that we had was terrible the smoked salmon starter had two tiny pieces of salmon barely enough for one of the three oatcakes that came with it ! The main meal I had was Steak pie it had greasy watery gravy and tasteless meat covered in gristle My colleague had mince and mash which was also tasteless and when he asked for a sachet of brown sauce to try to put a bit of taste into it was told there was none I would not recommend anyone eat there until the food improves drastically

Don’t go there ! The whole hotel needed more management. Public areas were dirty and uncared for. One morning at breakfast a tablecloth on the coffee table had the same very large stain of coffee from the previous morning (covering a huge percentage of the table). The same morning the coffee tasted stale as if just reheated from previous morning. The food we had was adequate but no more. The room was clean and the en-suite. However, the security was terrible with outdoor doors left ajar overnight and no management in the hotel at all. Guests were left to their own devices from about 22:00 to 09:00. The cook was obviously in attendance for dinner and breakfast and also junior staff (the junior staff were excellent but undertrained). Would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

A Curate's Egg - Good in Parts I was allocated a very comfortable room with a small outside patio area accessed through the patio doors. Bed was very comfortable and room was very clean, as was the rest of the hotel. The electric shower took a bit of experimenting with to get the flow and temperature right. There was no desk to work at and so had to make do with a small occassional table. Bedroom walls are paper thin, so hope you don't have noisy neighbours! There was no wardrobe in the room, only a hanging rack, which wasn't a problem for me as I was only staying one night, but may be an issue if you are staying longer. If would seem the staff were new and could do with a bit of additional training. Resturant menu was limited but the food good and portions large. Dining room itself is not particularly welcoming being rather bare, and sparsely furnished, more like a canteen. Breakfast was excellent.

We visited for dinner only, having been before earlier in year. On a cold and wet night we had a warm welcome from Christine as we sat by the cosy fire, before moving to a table for dinner. Christine allowed me to view a room for a possible stay in the future. I had dined here as a group of 8 people earlier in the year and we all really enjoyed the food on that occasion.
