What a beautiful hotel! Very stylish the bar and dining room felt like an exclusive ski lodge, with a warming fire and soft background music. Staff were lovely throughout. We had a basic classic room and that was absolutely fine nothing more required.

Very clean and modern hotel, public areas were in excellent deco, our room would have benefited from updating and was a little tied, although clean and comfortable. The Pool and Spa area was very good and food in the evening and breakfast was very tasty, however only scrambled egg on offer, although we did not ask about alternatives. Would have expected a little more breakfast variety for £16 per head. Overall staff were very friendly, helpful and provided and brilliant service, would definitely stay again.

Object to charge to use the pool

Nice hotel with friendly, helpful staff. The breakfast and food in the restaurant was good and the facilities are very nice. I don’t agree with the extra charge to use the swimming pool though and feel this should be included in the room rate.
