Great location to Cyclopark being only a short drive away - hotel is a bit dated but is clean and rooms are comfy and spacious - breakfast wasn’t brilliant with choices and freedom to have croissants etc - cooked breakfast was ok though - it is a budget hotel though - lovely quiet area and great views over the lake - friendly staff.

You pay for what you get they say. Cons :- Rooms very dated and dirty in places. Stained chair, net curtains dirty with holes and hanging off one end, light switch plates dirt, window frames dirty. Bed hard and uncomfortable, I had a single bed but it had an heavy ‘double’ duvet that touched the floor when untucked, made it even more uncomfortable and awkward getting in and out of. Roadside rooms too noisy to have window open, but the ceiling fan is as outdated and useless as a chocolate teapot. Old enamel bath with chips out of, stained shower curtain, shower fell off the wall. Pros:- staff very nice, lake was beautiful, breakfast good. Bedroom was large, had a hairdryer and tea/coffee facilities. Would I stay here again - sorry no.

The decor was dated as other reviews mentioned but the room was clean and spacious, shower pressure was very weak though. Food was lovely, reasonably priced including drinks, and different eating areas inside and out. It was a very peaceful and relaxing place which is what we wanted. Disappointed we couldn’t stroll around the lake (it’s private land beyond the jetty) but enjoyed watching the big fish jumping out of the water and the entertaining bird life. You can enter the wonderful woods of Shorne Country Park from just outside the car park. Wasn’t able to book any treatments which was a real shame, as were was told nothing available when emailed in the week before our overnight stay. Overall had a very enjoyable stay, having been somewhat sceptical due to reading some quite dreadful online reviews.

While this hotel excels in service, the bedding was obviously extremly old and yellow, the pillows old and flat, i would not stay here again. I spent the night being watched by the moost enormous spider!
