Lovely location, but food needs avoiding
The room was nice and very comfy ( though not many sockets and a rather unwieldy extension lead was in there). The hotel was clean BUT the outside and inside is a little tired. However the reasons for my lower scores are:
1. Primarily the food was terrible! Looking at their website I was expecting a bit of a foodie place. They certainly give it a good write up. Instead for my first evening I got prawns which were ‘squeaky’ and odd textured - that sort of bouncy, undercooked frozen texture; for breakfast the next day I have to say it was one of the worst Eggs Benedict I have ever had - scrambled hollandaise that was tepid and that cheap shaped-and-formed wet, slimy ham that you get in budget packets. I couldn’t eat it. Huge disappointment, but it ensured I didn’t eat there again either evening or breakfast.
2. Staff were very nice however they were somewhat thin on the ground and I asked a question - twice - about why my Hotels.Com receipt showed that I paid £40 more than the amount the hotel showed I had paid, but got no answer.
The hotel is in a fabulous location and has access straight onto the forest. So if you aren’t fussed about food I’d say it was a great option. If you are, be aware that there’s nowhere else nearby to eat.
