Family hotel.
Very family orientated Food was ok but disappointed that we didn’t get to eat in the main restaurant because it was always full and for the fact that The vegetarian option (no choice ) was disappointing and this is why we did not eat in this restaurant a d I would not class this as a. al a. Carte meal. We won’t be returning

Disliked: Staff & service
Service was very poor particularly in the bar and brasserie - staff are more intent on pandering to coach tours of visiting tourists and whole experience reflected a level of service acceptable to the captive audience of day trippers - the management would do well to reflect on whether they value individual guests like ourselves booking directly and expecting a much higher standard of guest care - one to cross off the list

Ok experience - food was mediocre, so was the service. Pool and changing rooms were not up to 4 star standard, unclean with a much needed upgrade. Otherwise perfect location and potential to be a great hotel - but needs some attention to service, food and upgrades.

Area for improvements
General comments and observations: - Hotel, due to location, very focused on cash out on customers: £6 for a lager and only extra options for breakfast which you need to pay for - no allergies descriptions on the food nor the description itself what you eat - no WiFi or very spotty in the rooms further from the reception, so you must relay on your 4g...as for 4 stars hotel, I would say that is poor service, - basic breakfast, some pastry, two types of watermelon as fruit options, mostly focused on full English, some selection of gluten-free. There is a selection of extras, but you will have to pay for them. Again, as for 4 start hotels, you would expect much more. I need to say I eat better in Premier Inn recently. You need to ask for a coffee (only black coffee, a nothing else) and tea pot. Dont get me wrong you wont leave hungry, but there are only cut melon and watermelon from fruit selection, only toast bread only natural yoghurt, no fresh veg, only ham or cheese, no other choices for sandwich....for 4 stars is rather poorly. We have stayed in the Contemporary Room, and the room was clean with a nice view on the lake, although in the summer with full leaf foliage on the trees, not much of the lake you will see. Pool is a 5 min walk outdoors from the hotel. The same is the gym. The pool has wet and dry saunas available. Pron: decent toiletries, selection of still and sparkling water, pool towels. Con: mould in the window corner You MUST book you table for food
