Arrived at hotel nice position and wedding party there in grounds that was nice so thought can t be that bad as reviews, nice room and good breakfast could have been fresher but plenty of choice nice restaurant and friendly people on reception and bar staff overall good hotel for the money would stay again more

The room was in need of updating, stained carpet, marks on wallpaper etc. Noisy staff on Monday morning, was woken up at 6.45am by staff moving laundry trolleys about, and doors slaming. Staff over worked on Sunday morning at breakfast, we were seated on some one elses table. Breakfast nothing special. On the otherhand, the location is lovely, set in... more

Had chosen this hotel mainly because of the location, and that criteria it satisfied more than ably. Worth to mention: the warm welcome by the greek receptionist!! more

BEWARE OF THIS HOTEL WHEN USING CARDS. charged three separate deposit fees for two rooms! hotel accounts dept were informed of the mistake and said they'd call us back but have not. exceedingly poor customer care skills. wi-fi access did not work either. more

Our stay was booked on a discount website and was very pleasant. The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast and general facilities were excellent. The hotel is showing its age a little but that is of no consequence to a good stay. It's well located in relation to the town which is only a short bus trip away. more

Had meal, food overcooked, service poor. Next morning dining room packed, however breakfast very good. Room good and comfortable, but overheated. Service main issue, very ordinary except restaurant staff,... more

We stayed here for New Year's Eve in 2008 and I totally agree with the reviewer who most recently called it a comedy hotel! Bad service, awful decor, uncomfortable surroundings. When they failed to have several of our bookings, despite us having received email confirmations. Also the receptionist was wearing fingerless gloves - a surefire sign this wasn't going to... more

Quite possibly the worst hotel service I have ever experienced. The staff re-defined the concept of slow to the point that it became a joke between my group of friends. Bar staff that couldn't pour a pint, waiting staff that didn't know what they were serving and reception staff that couldn't opperate a chip and pin terminal. It really was... more
