Gainsborough Vacations from $1,602

Value for money, thoughtful extra touches for the dog in room, friendly staff and lovely breakfast. Definitely recommend.

Buildings look a bit tired from outside but perfectly OK on inside.

Was great for an overnight stay. Bed was comfy.

Very clean and comfortable. Staff were welcoming and polite. Everything seemed great although Sunday night is popular in the pool with kids so less relaxing and burger in the bar was dry and overdone with a burnt bun, edible but if I was less hungry would have sent it back.

My room was on the top floor with a private use bathroom across the corridor frommy room. It was a small shower room with toilet. The shower was OK, but not very powerful. I liked the amenities provided. Shower gel etc and a razor pack in the bathroom, coffee and hot chocolate in the bedroom. Wifi was excellent. If I have to put some small gripes, it would be there was nowhere to sit and work. So not ideal for a business stay. It was on the top floor which is quite a hike and there is no lift, so be aware if you find stairs difficult. Breakfast was tasty and all hot except the mushrooms. The menu choice was good, and orange juice tasted like orange juice (it often doesn't in other Hotels). The welcome and attention at breakfast was very good. The hotel has that old world charm with wood, paintings, antiques etc. Parking was no problem as I got there early. There seems to be plenty of parking, but I think it is first come first served.
