The hotel was clean and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and a convenient location near the center of town. However, we were disappointed to find out that the pool was out of order for the duration of our stay, despite having booked specifically for this facility. Although we understand that these things happen, we would have appreciated being informed about the issue before checking in and paying. Given that we paid a premium for the hotel facility that we couldn’t use, a partial refund would have been appreciated. On the bright side, the spa and sauna were operational, and we enjoyed using them.

Hello JamesThank you for your feedback. My apologies that the pool pump went down at the worst possible time over the new year weekend/public holidays, meaning we had to keep the pool out of order for a few days while we got a replacement pump from our local suppliers. If you wish to contact me directly care of the hotel I can look into your booking regarding your request for a partial refund. We are pleased you otherwise enjoyed your stay.Warm wishesCarmel Horsley, General Manager.

Really enjoyed our stay here for 3 nights. Warm and clean rooms and so easy to walk everywhere. Disappointed to go to breakfast at 9.30am on the Sunday (breakfast was suppose to be available until 10am) to find buffet had been packed up, and chef grumbling and shouting at staff when they asked him to make something. Otherwise very accomodating staff allowing us to order in the bar just before they are due to close so we could finish a lovely evening. Highlight for me was the food at the restaurant- we dined twice during our stay, and invited guests. Food was delicious, well presented and would definitely recommend.

Hi Melissa
Lovely to hear you enjoyed your room. Apologies the car park was full when you returned, we do try and explain where additional parking is on check on - and there is also signage in our car park to this effect, so I am sorry this was an inconvenience to you.
Best wishes,
Carmel Horsley, General Manager.
