Great location by the lake, 10 min walk to the city centre. Friendly staff. Good selection of food. Very dog friendly hotel that provides bed, towel and bowls.
United KingdomIdeally placed for getting to and from the Great North Swim with proximity to ferry and buses. The staff were friendly, the food was lovely and our room was great with good blackout curtains and not too much heat but a cute little ‘fire’ in the corner of the room to warm up by when it felt cooler. I hate overheated hotel rooms where it is difficult to sleep because the heating seems to be on all the time and controls seem to make no difference.
United KingdomThe staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent in all respects and the room was wonderful.
United KingdomFriendly staff. Great meals. Excellent view in room and in dining room table.
