Spent last Saturday here thanks to a Groupon Voucher bed and breakfast, bottle of wine and chocs. I'd read some reviews and felt a little apprehensive about this hotel but I have to be honest I thoroughly enjoyed myself, yes the bedrooms are a little tired and yes the housekeeping could have been better a little cillit bang and some...

We stayed here last night on a Groupon deal. I could tell from the photos that the rooms were tired and in need of updating, but having stayed here about 15 years ago, didn't expect them to have not been refurbed since then. The rooms are a state, which is a real shame as the location is fabulous. The room... More

This is the second time me and my partner have been to this hotel. The first time the hotel looked good and looking over the lakes was amazing. Breakfast was very disapointing the food we had to wait for what was their was cold. I complained and they did give my money back for the breakfast. As I had another... More

Ive stayed here before. I would never have stayed again but for the pesky Group-On deal and their £47 offer which my other half booked. So, up we went having pre-planned where to eat that evening because the restaurant is dire, the bar is devoid of all life and the prices are crazy. As expected the place is filthy. I... More

We did as we prefer rose, this wasn't a problem . The chocolates were six from milk tray. The location is overlooking the lakes and it's... More

First impressions of the hotel are good, nice location near to Theake business park and in a rural setting. I agree with earlier posts that it definitely needs a bit of a refurb but the views over the lake are lovely and I can honestly say it is one of the most comfortable hotel beds I have ever slept in....

My partner and I stayed here as we bought the deal on group on. From start to finish it was a nightmare! Pubic hairs in the beds, only 1 side lamp worked in the room, room service arrived cold, staff were rude and to top it all of the rooms were disgusting!!!!!
