Great Could be Better

Great location, lovely hotel. Parking is good, there is a large free car park. The restaurant is good serving great meals. Only bugbear is that the service at breakfast is ok if you've got all day but not great if you want to get a move on. Why aren't you like other hotels where I can help myself to juice and cereal and that will shave 10 - 15 minutes off the time?

Lovely hotel, great restaurant, average service

Loved everything about our stay - hotel was lovely and in a beautiful setting next to the river, food in the restaurant was superb. The only downside was the hotel’s response to there being no water in our room in the morning. I tried several times to contact reception on the phone, but it was engaged every time. When we went down for breakfast and I spoke to the receptionist, she was sat playing on her mobile phone and her response was very dismissive - “oh yeah, a few rooms have reported the water is out and the gym too”. I’m surprised that in this situation there wasn’t more effort to proactively contact guests and apologise, perhaps make alternative arrangements to allow people to shower etc. Unfortunately the issue wasn’t fixed before we checked out and so we had to leave without being able to shower. There was no attempt to apologise, let alone offer any kind of reimbursement for the poor experience. A disappointing end to an otherwise lovely stay.

Really nice location, shame I stayed during a heatwave as there isn’t any aircon in the room and the room was facing west (it had the sun on the room, which added to an already warm room).

Dog-friendly, fantastic food, and a great vibe!

We had a really great stay at The Coppa. The hotel is dog-friendly, and the food was fantastic — we enjoyed lunch, breakfast, and dinner there during our stay. Our room didn't have air conditioning, and we arrived during particularly hot weather. Being on the ground floor, we didn’t feel entirely comfortable leaving the windows open overnight, as our room overlooked the entrance and carpark, and there’s no gate or barrier and it felt a bit exposed. That being said, the positives far outweighed the negatives, and I would definitely stay again. A great spot for a weekend away, especially if you’re bringing your dog along!
