My fiancee and I had a lovely stay at the hotel while scouting for our wedding venue. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with spacious rooms and a fantastic dining experience. However, our experience with the staff was a bit mixed; while some were exceptional, others seemed inexperienced. Overall, it was a great place for a couples getaway, although the swimming pool could be improved for those with kids.

We had a really lovely time at the hotel. The staff were wonderfully accommodating, especially when we needed a fridge for our toddler's milk, and the breakfast options were delightful. However, the room we stayed in felt a bit cramped for our family of four, and the chlorine in the pool was a bit overwhelming for my son. Overall, it was a nice getaway with engaging activities for the kids.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel valued during my stay. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, perfect for relaxation. However, my first room had significant issues with heat, making it quite uncomfortable for sleeping. The dining experience was also hit or miss; while some meals were amazing, others were less satisfactory. Overall, the hotel has potential but needs some improvements, particularly in temperature regulation and menu consistency.
Rooms
6.0
The first room I received was far too hot with no air conditioning, which made for a very uncomfortable night. I eventually got moved to a cooler room, which was much better, but it was right above a playground and very noisy in the morning.
Service
7.0
The service from the restaurant staff was outstanding, always friendly and accommodating. However, the reception team was less efficient and seemed to struggle with managing bookings.
Location
6.0
The hotel is not ideally located as it is slightly away from popular spots, making it less convenient for explorers. It feels like an oasis once you're inside, away from the industrial surroundings.
Dining

The quality of the food was exceptional during some meals, particularly dinner with colleagues. However, breakfast options could be improved as some items were not replenished quickly enough, leading to disappointment in the morning.
Facilities

Amenities like the spa and outdoor areas were great, providing a lovely atmosphere for relaxation. However, maintenance could be improved, including the pool area where some jets were not functional.
