Not great

Hotel feels very dated. I stayed in the small building at the rear of the hotel. The entrance to this building was grubby. Room had microwave and small sink and feidge which was great as restaurant options were very limited. Breakfast was good and nicely cooked. Not great but not terrible

Room was very dated, with drab decor, and in a building remote from the main reception/hotel. Would look for alternative accommodation next time.

The bedroom smelt of food because of the bathroom vents. Bedroom was small and paint was pealing off the walls in the bedroom and bathroom. Bathroom tiles where also damaged. Carpet had were ripped. I asked reception staff if i could change room because of the condition i was advise that the Hotel was full. when i had breakfast i was advised it was a quite day. Breakfast the sussage and hash browns were burn. worst hotel i have ever stayed in never again.

I booked the studio with this property. The cleanliness was everything alright and staff was super kind with us. The only thing is that in that studio was BOILING HOT and really really humid even if was not raining outside and was not that hot. The property has put a little fun for the guests, but still, it was impossible to sleep with a fun on all night. The kitchenware was really limited and they were a little bit dirty so I didn't want to prepare something to eat there. Overall, it's not a bad place!

The hotel is split into 4 buildings, we were in one with what seemed to be studios (microwave and fridge). The room was fine, but quite tired. The bathroom was run down and the shower needed fixing (raw edges of tiles, missing sealant). There were not enough charging points in the room and the furniture was old. Felt like a student dorm room. The main hotel lounge area was also run down with no plug sockets and peeling wallpaper. On arrival we were asked if the booking was in a different name (no I only have one name), then told we’d cancelled the booking (we hadn’t) and then finally told we did have a booking. It was basically chaos and we were told ‘not to look so worried’. The shuttle they arranged to and from the festival was helpful though.

Lovely hotel slight issues with internet, but i think that wss more to do with the amount of people connectin to it as hotel was pretty full. Doors are thin so heard people coming back late, but really tht was minor. No air con in executive room. However i am looking forward to staying again.
