Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable for just a slight extra cost, but they were a bit noisy. The service was efficient, offering amenities like room service, dry cleaning, housekeeping, and laundry. The location, though beautiful surrounded by woodland, was not my ideal choice for leisure. The dining was satisfactory, but without breakfast. Overall, the facilities were decent for the price paid.
Staying at this hotel was a pleasant experience. The rooms, while a little small, were clean and comfortable with a well-stocked ensuite. The staff was welcoming and accommodating, and the location was convenient with quick access to local facilities. However, the dining experience could be improved in terms of variety and temperature of the food.
The hotel is ideally located in a beautiful woodland setting, offering peace and tranquillity. The rooms are nicely decorated and feature comfortable beds with en-suite bathrooms. However, it might be beneficial to clarify that the renovated rooms are a higher tier for future guests' expectations.
