We were looking forward to returning to this hotel once again this year but as soon as we arrived we noticed the changes .The hotel has not got the same family feeling that it had ,and this was due to the fact that the hotel has changed hands .Lots of little things have changed and unless you had stayed there before you would probably not notice it ,the main thing that irked us was the bar being closed at 11pm and being told we could not have a drink after returning from a meal out ,another thing we didnt like was on arrival being told the single room we had booked with a balcony was to be upgraded to a room without a balcony .....It looked like they had overbooked this type of room we were not offered any compensation for this even though we had paid extra ,I have been in touch with the booking company and am awaiting an answer.
The meals had changed all together ,there were choices but if they had run out they were not replaced and you had to get down very early in the morning to get a full choice for breakfast,Dinner was very reptative and once again if you were not down early the vegetables would have gone along with choice of meats ,you had to have what was left .
Bar prices were very expensive ,we found ordering wine in the restaurant was cheaper than in the bar ,so we would order extra and take it into the bar after dinner,also make sure you ask for tap water or else you will be charged a hefty fee for bottled,which over the week adds up.
Would I stay here again ? Probably because the location cannot be beaten you are just minutes away from everywhere.
