Good value hotel accomodation. Free parking. Helpful staff. Yes the hotel is dated definitely not contemporary..look out for the bird pictures. the gold bobble wall decorations, the few steps up to first floor ( not sure how that worked!), the fish tank and the school hall looking breakfast room...but....the rooms are very clean, towels clean, great simple breakfast (lovely waffles) and all at a very reasonable price. I would definitely stay here again

Disliked: Cleanliness
The floors needed a good old clean & carpets smelled like old pub carpets along the corridor. Feels like it needs a good old spring clean to freshen things up! The bar area is too dark to see the menu, had to get a torch light from my phone. The staff were helpful & helped us with any problems although breakfast waiter had forgotten to take our order & then arrived with fried instead of poached egg (which was unfortunately overcooked!) On a good note, the view of the lake was absolutely amazing & plenty of parking onsite.

This hotel is a good place to stay if you have a pet and the pet will be staying in the room by itself. The carpets in the hallway were 10 years overdue for a change. As a couple, we were provided with only one bath towel and 2 other hand towels. When I called reception to ask for an extra bath towel, the Indian gentleman rudely asked men to come downstairs and get it myself. If I was asking for an unusual item or something that was a favour, I would understand. A towel is a basic necessity. The decor in the rooms were Elizabethan and the hotel had the stench of marshland. The hotel is worth £40 per night at best. The plus side is ample parking.
