This is a beautiful hotel in a lovely setting. The rooms are spacious, clean with all the little extras that create a good impression. Staff are super friendly and check-in straight forward. We were only staying for one night but were so looking forward to our visit. As some have mentioned, the hotel is set outside the main town, in a kind of industrial area but there's a lovely shopping mall next door that's very popular, so there is a bus stop right outside the hotel, and buses run frequently, so location is not normally a problem!
Unfortunately on the one night of our stay, the staff were having a party so the hotel restaurant and bar were closed! That's okay - if only someone would have told us in advance! We arrived back to the hotel after a busy day out sightseeing so were looking forward to having a meal at the hotel and a few drinks ready for an early departure the next day! We found the restaurant in darkness at 7.30pm and the guy on reception then told us about the staff party! Why weren't we told about this at check in earlier in the day, particularly because there is nothing else in the area to go to get a drink or eat (unless you want a Burger King that's up the road!)
So we waited for a bus that took over half an hour! Maybe they are not so frequent later in the day!
There were kids throwing stones outside so the police were called so we had to wait inside the hotel!
We toyed with the idea of just staying in our room but out of hundreds of channels on the TV, there was not one English speaking, although we did find Radio 2 eventually! Why no English speaking channels? We have never known this before, there is always at least one or two news channels to be found!
This hotel had the potential of being one of our favourites, but we were just let down by lack of planning from hotel staff?
