"Generally our experience was good. Getting there was fairly easy. Check in went smooth, the view from room over the lake was beautifull.we slept well.Food was good, we had breakfast only.Waiting time for an English breakfast seemed bit long and portion size could be bit bigger.Staff was kind and friendly.We stayed there for 1 night only. My only complain is first impression when we entered our room there were big stains on a carpet, which made us uncomfortable and want to leave immediately.On the drain in shower there was still bit of hairs.Carpets in a hallway are worn off as well. Taken away cleanliness issue it is a good value for the money and a lovely set up over the lake."

"This is a really well run hotel. We had a large room with a super king sized bed. I asked for a softer pillow and housekeeping delivered one within minutes of asking. The pool is only small but it has a great jacuzzi (lovely and hot which often isn’t the case), sauna and steam room. The buffet breakfast was delicious. Obviously it’s not in a beautiful setting as it’s right in the junction of the A12 and M25 but it is a little haven of loveliness."
