Lovely place but poor bedroom experience

Bedroom noise from corridor doors was horrendous. A mixture of people coming and going and the rattling of squeaky doors was really bad. Apart from this it was a nice place. Dinner and breakfast was good, and scenery was very nice. Lodge Room number was LR02 for info.

From arrival to departure, our stay was everything we hoped for and more besides. Perfect location and facilities within the complex are excellent. We came for a relaxing, time for us break and that’s exactly what we got. Left feeling relaxed, reconnected and happy. We will definitely be back.

Great place, shame about the Lodge Cafe and bar.

Great place for a break, pools and spa are brilliant. We stayed at the lodge which has really comfortable rooms. We stayed here before at the lodge which had a bar and cafe which was excellent. Sadly this is no longer open, which really is a shame, as you now have to go the main building for a snack or a pint during the day. Apart from that i can't recommend this place high enough.

Lodge room was very comfortable, clean. Bit of a walk to get to restaurant from it if you want to have a drink first or have mobility issues. But top marks to hotel reception they organised a pick up from room & back when finished by a very pleasant & helpful young man called Pete. Only issue was my steak at dinner, it wasn't good & don't think it was rump either as said on menu Other than that food very good

Butlins without the fun

We didnt get a single smile, and plenty of surliness. Owners clearly more interested in your money than your experience or the happiness of their staff. Felt like the most miserable holiday camp ever. Pool packed. Marina packed. Landscape exploited with all the money spent on plastic spa facilities and none on vegetation. A grey plastic hotel. If you live in a grey plastic house, with plastic grass and acres of block paved drive for your Evoque you'll likely love it.

Great stay- cottages cosier than ever

3rd time staying in the cottages- i think they might have added new windows to them or new heaters.. the cottages were wonderfully warm and cosy, making the experience even better than before. the pool is as magnificent as ever- lovely and warm. staff are very helpful indeed and fussed over every dog in the place. There's really nothing to fault here at all

Fantastic stay the shepherds hut, which was much larger than expected and beautifully appointed. The facilities in the hotel are excellent. The restaurant was great and the spa and outdoor pool was fantastic. The massage by the Spanish lady was one of the best I’ve had. We also took the ferry over to Tarbert one afternoon, which was 20 minutes away and just glorious. I’d go back in a heartbeat!
