The one word for this hotel is “impeccable “. The facilities are great and the food is excellent. None of the usual tepid buffet here! Everything is freshly cooked. Ten out of ten for everything. This is the first time I have ever given such a good review, and they deserve it.

Excellent hotel.

Such lovely, helpful staff. The surroundings were very comfortable, the food was first class. It’s evident it really is ‘Team Tontine’ with everyone working well together. The service in the restaurant was of a high standard, the tables are nicely spaced and the standard of cleanliness was exemplary. We were aware that dogs were catered for and those we encountered during our stay were very well behaved!

Poor welcome

Poor welcome. Despite being told on 4 days earlier that our 3 rooms would be prioritised by Housekeeping so that we could check-in at 1pm instead of 4pm, there was no record and the receptionist doubted what I was saying. She then announced that there was a charge of £10 per room if we were allowed early access. I then received a phone call an hour later to say that we could indeed gain early access with no additional charge. Too late I’m afraid and a poor start.

Overnight as a couple. Dinner bed and breakfast £185. Check in was good apart from parking. Sorted in the end. Room looked lovely and had a smashing view that you could see when lying in bed. Room itself was very very hot, we had a fan on all night, which was in the cupboard, so someone else must have complained about it. Shower and bath. Dinner was lovely. Steak cooked to perfection. Again breakfast was smashing although we had booked for 9am and arrived at 5 past to be told we were late and should have been there at 8.45. Would stay again.
