Only complaint: the biggest freaking spider I’ve even seen decided to take up residence in the bathroom. Fortunately it was the last day, so we let him have it."

8/10 Good
"Nice hotel which has had some recent refurbishment. Breakfast was only OK. Buffet style but food was only warm, some of which was poor quality. Lighting of the ballroom needs attention as it was so bright. Large lake view room was lovely, albeit it needs checking more thoroughly as there were cobwebs and maintenence issues. Gardens needs lighting as we nearly fell trying to return to the hotel o the dark. Paying for carparking when you've paid £350 per night is poor."

"Everything was amazing. Great location and lovely staff. The view from breakfast and the terrace bar was great. 2 things to improve that really hot under my skin.... Breakfast wasn't great. And the hotel bar is extremely overpriced. We paid 10£ for 2 cups of tea (tea bag tea!!!) and alcohol and soft drinks also way over priced. If you book, just make a brew in your room and bring it down, it's the same tea!"
