Received a very warm welcome from Jade on reception. She is an absolute asset to your team. Bar was nice and sat outside in the courtyard for a very tasty steak sandwich. Parking on site is free and at the back of the hotel. Nice place to stay and would go back again.

The hotel was clean, dining options are limited in the hotel but bar was nice. There is a ecopark walking distance and a restaurant called Tuk Tuk that was very good, highly recommend them. Grocery and pharmacy walking distance as well. Room was a little crammed, but clean. No smart TV, and limited channels. They had luve music in the bar on Friday and Saturday night.

This is an amazing Hotel, a lovely blend of the modern bedrooms with the nostalgic stately home for the other areas. Mattresses very hard for me, but then that can be personal preference, but I struggled to sleep. Staff very friendly and super attentive to the needs of guests. This would be a beautiful wedding venue, with the quality of the food, the awesome staff coupled with an idyllic location, 5 stars

The room and staff was great. There were however a few big issues for us. The cleanliness of the Bar and Breakfast area- glasses were dirty with lipstick and grime. The bar area needs a deep clean-lots of fruit flies we were swatting while trying to enjoy a drink, the smell of the bar area was almost unbearable. It hasn’t been deep cleaned in awhile. They hosted a private event in the outdoor bar space and didn’t clean up completely after the event. Woke up the next morning to the remnants of a big party

Pela nota do hoteis.com tinha uma expectativa muito maior do hotel, pois sempre tento reservar com notas acima de 9, porém as fotos nos leva a esperar uma coisa e a realidade foi outra. Estávamos em casal e o quarto era minusculo, não sou muito exigente, porem esperava o minimo de espaço para conseguir abrir uma mala, o unico local que dava era onde abria a porta do quarto, então se a mala estivesse no chão aberta, ninguém saia ou entrava no quarto. O cafe da manha não é buffet, os pratos são bem tipicos de comidas da região, o que não nos agradou. Para chegar no quarto tinha uma escada logo seguido de uma porta, o que dificulta conseguir subir as malas.

After a long flight, we were very happy to be able to rest in this beautiful place. The staff were all friendly and answered all our questions. We arrived quite late, 6:30pm in the evening. We ate at the Avalon restaurant for supper at 7pm. The meals were wonderful. The breakfast the next morning was wonderfully good and very filling, if you have the option to pick the breakfast included in your stay, I would highly recommend it. My family all had a great sleep in the very comfy beds. We would stay again if we ever have the opportunity to pass through. Family of five.

This is a quiet little jewel of a hotel. We absolutely loved our stay here! The food was great. We had the chicken ham pot pie and it was delicious! After dinner we had a nice stroll across the bridge to the Discovery park. The staff was kind and delightful. Service was exceptionally good. The room was beautiful and comfortable with nice big towels. The bed was extremely comfortable and we had a very restful night. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and cooked to order. Never had lemon pancakes before and they were light and refreshing. Again, the service at breakfast was great. This stay was beyond our expectations. I highly recommend it.
