FANTASTIC stay!

spa area steam room gourmet sandwich packed lunch

I REALLY enjoyed the pool and spa! The steam room and sauna were great, and I appreciated the hot tub SO much. The manager was an absolute LEGEND. He made us packed lunches for our hike, I'm talking gourmet-level sandwiches!!!

The Sunday local bus service was a bit infrequent, so getting into town took some planning.

Okay Stay

good breakfast friendly staff dining room poor state

The leisure facilities was very good. They were easy to use. The staff was friendly in this area. Breakfast was also good. I had a good experience. The breakfast had variety and tasted fresh.

The outside of the hotel needs maintenance. The dining room had wallpaper that was falling off. The out buildings looked like they were not maintained.
