We had a lovely time celebrating our golden wedding anniversary at this hotel. The setting was beautiful with snow around, and the staff worked hard to accommodate our family. The facilities, especially the pool and spa, were enjoyed by everyone, but the service in the dining area was a bit slow, especially when it came to cocktails. Overall, it was a great experience, though a few improvements in staff availability would elevate it even further.

This hotel has a unique charm with its sprawling design that made it stand out. While the breakfast was impressive and the room spacious, some aspects like the outdated bathroom setup and noise from events could be better managed. The overall experience felt a bit mixed, particularly regarding the value for the price paid.

Rooms

Our room was spacious, but lacked a fridge and had a limited view. The bed was large and comfortable, although the bathroom setup was not ideal.

Our stay was a mixed bag. On one hand, the service was welcoming, especially from Diane at breakfast, but the hotel felt overcrowded with large groups during our visit. The facilities were great, yet we were disappointed with the rules regarding pool access and felt restricted during our stay. Overall, it may be a hit for some, but we might look elsewhere next year.

My stay in the eco pod was somewhat frustrating. While the pod was spacious, the service left a lot to be desired, and the dining experience was disappointing. However, the shower facilities were clean and warm, which was a plus.

Rooms

The pod was reasonably spacious but had a practical layout issue, and the bed required climbing into from one side.

Breakfast was available early, but the food was already showing signs of having sat for too long, with the sausages and bacon being quite unappetizing.

The shower units were clean and warm, which was a relief, but the overall amenities in the pod felt lacking.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. On one hand, the spa facilities were fantastic and the main course at the restaurant was delicious. However, the service in the dining area was lacking, and the room left a lot to be desired with its cleanliness. The atmosphere could certainly use improvement, too, as it felt a bit unwelcoming at times.

Rooms
5.0
The room was spacious but not very clean, with stains on the walls and a poor view. It lacked the attention to detail I would expect from a four-star establishment.
Service

The service was quite disappointing overall, especially in the restaurant, where it felt like the staff were overwhelmed. A couple of staff members seemed to care, but it wasn't enough to make a positive impact on our experience.
Location

The hotel is conveniently located, which I appreciated, making it easy to explore nearby attractions and relax by the beach.
Dining

The main buffet carvery offered plenty of choices and was well-presented, but the starters were a letdown, both in quality and portion size.

The spa facilities were excellent, featuring an Olympic-sized pool and well-maintained amenities that contributed positively to my stay.
