We recently stayed at this hotel and while the check-in was smooth and the room outstandingly clean, the dining experience didn't live up to our expectations. The restaurant menu had its ups and downs, with some tasty options but others that left much to be desired. The overall experience was enjoyable, thanks to the lovely room and the hotel dimensions, but I would consider dining elsewhere in the future.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The rooms were functional but lacked proper temperature control, which made my nights uncomfortable. Additionally, the dining experience was disappointing, with uninspired food and a lack of attentive service. On a positive note, the location near the park was nice, and some aspects of the hotel were clean and well-presented.

I had an overall enjoyable stay with some highlights and a few areas where improvements could be made. The comfort of the beds was definitely a plus, and the location was convenient for local attractions. However, the dining experience could benefit from fresher breakfast offerings and a bit more attentiveness from the staff during peak times.

Rooms

The rooms were spacious and well-furnished, providing a comfortable space for my family. Having a lovely touch like Tunnocks wafers on the bed for the kids was a delightful surprise. The only downside was that it got a bit hot at night.

We had a mixed experience during our stay. The location is lovely, with beautiful grounds and modern, spacious rooms that provided comfort. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, especially breakfast, which was disappointing and cold. Service was touch and go, with some friendly staff but also a few who seemed overwhelmed and unresponsive.
