Lovely old, characterful hotel with a spa and fitness centre. Room was lovely and spacious and bed was really comfy. Bathroom had both a tub and a shower and was very clean - as expected. Food in the restaurant was delicious and there was plenty of choice for breakfast.

Perfect stay

We had a wonderful stay, from the moment we walked in we were greeted & made most welcome by a gentleman, he offered to help with our luggage & also showed us to our room which was lovely & spotless. Everything about this hotel is 5 stars. The staff are a credit to the hotel, they are so welcoming and friendly and nothing is too much trouble, this without a doubt adds to the enjoyment to our stay. The food in the hotels Lakeside restaurant is superb. We cannot wait to return. Thank you for our wonderful stay.
