I booked daughter and granddaughter in to stay a night when they visited for a weekend. They thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Especially the friendliness of the gentleman on the front desk. My granddaughter was made to feel very special being given hotel money to get a free treat from the bar. A lovely written note in the room wishing them a special stay so she left them a picture and a note to say thank you.

The staff was fantastic. I didn’t have A/C in my room. They immediately ran to get me a fan and moved me the next day in to a new room. The staff was very helpful and hospitable. I stayed and had dinner there on a few of the nights on my week stay and every employee they had working were super friendly. Would stay there again.

Satisfying for one night stay

Reasonable stay initially was very slow to serve at the bar due to lack of staff then as time went on it improved and staff were very polite and courteous. Evening food was average at the restaurant but breakfast was excellent however the property externally looking very tired and required major improvements. The gardens needed a lot of care and since the day was very sunny we wanted to sit in the garden but was disappointing as it lacked a lot of attention looking at lots of weeds and scorched grass and beautiful but neglected almond trees

Run down hotel with inexperienced staff

One of my worst hotel experiences. We had a one night stay booked as we were attending a local music event, and we were meeting with some friends also going to the same event. On arrival our room was not ready so we decided to get a drink. We ordered from the menu, but the girl behind the bar clearly had very little experience of knowledge of bar work and expected us to know which of the wines she showed us was the one we ordered. When our friends ordered a bottle of wine later, she asked which size we wanted, was it medium! All 6 of our group then ordered food at the bar. Four plates arrived after about 50 minutes, but the other 2 didn't. I went to ask to speak to a manager but was told there was not one on, but the two ladies at reception were dealing with things. I explained about our wait for food, now over an hour, and one lady said she would find out what was happening. By the time I was back at the table the final plates arrived, but I never saw the lady from reception again, no offer of apology etc. Three of the dishes ordered were a rice bowl, but none had any rice, and the third looked completely different to the other two. The outdoor seating area resembled a prison exercise yard and the hotel is in very poor condition. One pane of glass in our bedroom window had been replaced with a sheet of plastic screwed in to the frame. Overall a very poor experience, and not a cheap place either. It needs a major overhaul and staff training. The only good part was breakfast!!

Very poor service all round

Check in time changed on arrival. Paperwork & website said 2pm, receptionist said 3pm & never guaranteed anywhere. Slow service at lunch, 40 min wait for pancakes & pork sausage in a bun despite no other customers. No charge point or socket on one side of the bed. Bottom sheet on bed too small, didn't fit, not fitted, so moved with you when you turned over. Duvet not wide enough, only covered 3/4 of bed. Shower area in a poor state (see photos), broken & cracked pieces & slide rail adjuster not working and large gap behind extractor fan, not fitted properly.
Extractor fan lose at the wall, not fitted flush.
Crack at bottom of slide rail
Large piece of shower head holder missing
Rust on shower screen ceiling  support bar

Nice hotel but limited connectivity

Nice hotel in general with a bar and food available until 21:30 we added breakfast which was good value and plenty of choice. Only issue was the limited or zero connectivity either via wifi or mobile service. If you don't have a car you are reliant on the local taxi service which is a minimum of 20 min wait & most taxi journey are £25
