Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were quite large and comfortable, but the cleanliness left a bit to be desired. The service was friendly, but there were some lapses in attention to detail. The location had its charms, but also some maintenance issues. The dining experience was a mix of positives and negatives. Overall, it was an average experience with room for improvement.
The hotel offers a luxurious and relaxing stay with fabulous amenities and exceptional service. However, there are some minor issues like a strange damp smell in the rooms and limited breakfast options.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic overall. The rooms were lovely, clean, with a comfortable bed, and well-equipped to a high standard. The access to the small jet pool and quiet room for just £30 per person was a great addition. The room was very spacious and had everything you'd ask for, including an iron. The service was mostly good, with friendly staff, although the night porter seemed a bit inconvenienced. The beautiful location next to Frensham Large Pond was a highlight, perfect for enjoying breakfast overlooking the lake. The dining experience, while good, did have a slight annoyance with limited options. Overall, a great value for money stay.
The hotel offers passable rooms with hot water, albeit through a building site, making it an okay choice for a night stay after a wedding. The service, although limited by understaffing, is engaging and helpful. The location is great for a quiet stay or exploring the area, but some parts may need updating. The dining experience, although nice with lots of choices, could be pricey. Overall, the facilities are sufficient.
The hotel was beautiful overall, despite minor room issues like a view of a brick wall and the room being a bit cold due to central heating. The friendly staff and wonderful location made up for it, creating a charming stay.
