Very mixed feelings about this place. Some good & bad features. With better management, it could be much better. On the negative side, the Dining Room staff seem dozy & under-trained. Breakfast buffet limited & unimaginative - tinned and in-skin fruit, but no fresh fruit salad. The toaster was basically unuseable. The two coffee machines are OK but very temperamental. The only hot food is ruined bacon, hard-boiled eggs and concrete-like scrambled eggs. THe fruit juices are not fresh & very watered down. On the positive side, most of the food at dinner was excellent, including the pasta first courses. They're a bit shy of vegetables, but the salads are nice. The rooms, in two-storey blocks around the grounds, are large, clean & comfortable, but there's only one tiny lift in each block. The massive swimming pool is a great plus in the hot weather. Sometimes the bar stays open, sometimes it doesn't. Twice-weekly "music" evenings. One evening was ruined for some guests because of extremely loud music from the hotel/ restaurant next door into the early hours. Apparently this is a regular thing. The hotel apologises but can't/ won't do much about it. So - overall - a very mixed bag.
