We made the short trip and had a fantastic couple of nights in this lovely hotel. We explored a bit of the area and had 2 superb evening meals on the restaurant. The staff were helpful and friendly. The whole place, bar the restaurant, is dog friendly which was great for us. Will definitely recommend a visit.

Warm friendly welcome on arrival. Good clean room, lovely modern bathroom.||The service and food in therestaurant was really really good,and fairly priced. 4/5 due to the numerous narks on the room wall where the paint's been damaged - a minor thing for me.

Don’t often write reviews, but with recent changes to the lodge with the new all you can eat menus and the amazing changes to other menu items I felt the need to comment on it. Fantastic staff, great food, and cheap prices. It is a most go location when you don’t feel like cooking!

A very attractive and pleasant hotel, with friendly, helpful staff and an excellent restaurant. I had a budget room so it was a little small (fair enough for the budget price), but very nice and very comfortable.

Hadn't been there for years and with a few changes in management tried again for a family meal. Sadly felt the food was not that great quality wise. The burgers appeared to be generic bulk buy burgers. The taste was lacking. Overall portion size Vs cost was not good value. Others in the group had other items which they did seem to like and the portions were better. I perhaps just made the mistake of ordering the burger option.

Edit after respons: Very expensive parking lot. Wanted a good nights sleep and since we have been travelling in a build-in campervan, a hotel seemed the right step.It was hot, no airflow, super noisy till past 3 and the beds were very uncomfortable. We ended up sleeping in our van on the parking lot when we still couldn't get any shut eye at all.The information on our bookingsite seemed wrong, so better check and call in advance if you want to be sure. Do not recommend and will not come back. It is a shame, the staff is super friendly and kind and the vibe of the hotel is super sweet. I do come to a hotel to sleep. Not to enjoy the walls though.
