Great vibe just need to sort some minor admin issu

This 3 Star hotel is lovely, surrounded by nature and a vibe to peace and relaxation. I stayed for one night due emergency but was 90 percent satisfied. Only thing I dislike is that they check in time is extremely late and check out extremely early . Management need to consider as customer pay for a full day but they miss out on 4 hours ! Standard check in time should be 1 maximum 2! And check out should be 12! The swimming pool was not working the day I arrive which was the reason I book it but never less it was an ok accommodation with lovely views

Cleanliness was well below par, the decor and furniture were dated and showing signs of plenty of previous use. Disappointed that it had not been maintained as it ought to have been.

Great party poor room.

I was there for works party. Had a great night staff and food was spot on. Room was tired, mattress very old and lumpy (107) toilet was dirty and the sink didn’t drain. We only spent a few hours in the room and left at 06.30 no opportunity to let staff know as reception was unattended when we left.

Tired but ok

The hotel should be rebranded to B&B at best. Very dated and in need of lots of TLC. Stayed here when it was quite new and was saddened to see how run down the rooms have been allowed to get wasnt i pressed with cleanliness either. Black mold round the bath. Toilet bowl rim awful and rustying sink. Had to pump toilet for it to flush. Breakfast was not up to much. Had better stays in cheaper hotels. Bed wasnt that comfy either old mattress and flat pillows. Wont be choosing to stay here again. It was adequate for families who needed to be near the zoo but not for a relaxing couples break.😔
