"Comfortable and Clean but Terrible WiFi!"
The room was clean and tidy (although there was a lingering smell of pipe tobacco in the bathroom which was weird considering the smoke detectors are meant to be very sensitive). The room maybe needed a refresh - for people with USB-charged devices, there are only two ports (one on each side of the bed) and they are low current so devices take twice as long to charge. If there were more charging ports the slow charging wouldn’t be an issue. The Ultimate WiFi is terrible and certainly not worth paying £5 per day for - I recommend buying extra data on your phone rather than wasting your money if you need to as long as you have decent coverage in your room. Fortunately(?) Ultimate WiFi was included in my room fee, but whenever I wanted to use it there was no bandwidth. This hotel DESPERATELY needs upgraded broadband that can provide an acceptable service to everyone, especially those who have paid extra. It makes me very cross that you have to pay for a service you can’t use. Rant over - the staff were lovely, there was plenty of parking and there is a pub just across the car park and even a KFC if that’s your bag. I will definitely book again, because it’s actually good value, but I will ensure I have enough data for my Internet needs!
"A great stay!"
The staff were extremely helpful, and it was a great location: only a short drive to the beach and near to a main road to access other parts of the island. Food was good and there was plenty of free parking. I was definitely glad to have chosen this hotel and not the sea front one. I’m already planning a return trip.
"Hotel Lake very good"
Overall a lovely friendly hotel. Staff very good. Parking a godsend Breakfast bit of a wait as staff chatting in the kitchen but food excellent
