Superb location beside the canal. Conservatory restaurant overlooking beautiful hillside and the canal and serving full selection of food at moderate price. Lovely evening meal. Breakfast was excellent. Relaxing lounge with entertainment very much enjoyed. Room was very small and in need of an upgrade but we understand this is ongoing. A box of tissues would have been a useful extra. Bed very comfortable and room quiet. Staff all very hardworking and skilled at their job. A very enjoyable night’s stay.

Our 1 night stay was fine ...a very warm night and the hotel had a sepperate electric fan in the room... the a/c was not working at all so this fan was a life saver ! The breakfast was lovely and we used the pool which was also enjoyable but small things like plastic bags to take your wet swim costumes is a simple addition .. overall a nice stay in a hotel that needs an upgrade 😌
