The hotel was excellent- room was spotless and all amenities in the room. The breakfast was very good quality. First day we have A La Carte which did take a little long, however the staff responded well to our request Second day was buffet and the food was equally good quality. The bar was very busy and had a great atmosphere.

Channels Hotel is located at a quiet area and the rooms are very nice. This time my room was at the end of building near to country road, which generated some noise. The breakfast is delicious and good variety.

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely hotel and would happily recommend. Such a beautiful place with an excellent bar and brasserie just across the way for breakfast, meals and drinks also recommended. Pretty courtyard areas to enjoy some time out. Everywhere well maintained and clean. Professional, friendly and very welcoming staff. Our stylish room in the old barn, with a very spacious ensuite, had absolutely everything we could possibly need and a comfortable big bed. Air con bliss too in this very hot weather. Very useful small fridge in room with drinks/snacks available to purchase. Usual tea and coffee facility but fresh milk available from reception was a real bonus. We are so pleased that we chose this hotel for our stay.
