We stayed here as part of our honeymoon. Definitely not to be recommended. The hotel works mainly with tour groups and about two bus loads are arriving every day. This means that you will be woken up at early morning hours by people rattling their suitcases across the wooden floors. Shame because the hotel with its wooden construction is very... More

A very good 3 star hotel with friendly and efficient service. Comfortable rooms and real value for moeny. Breakfast could be a little bit better, as you got the sister hotel opposie. Group hotel, therefore it could be noisy at times. Position excellent for Waterfront

Dirty, smelly, and the sofa even for small children really uncomfortable, pictures at the website looks much better. Good things: friendly staff an extraordinary look location, and free wi-fi. if you don't mind that looks and feel dirty, but if you travel with small children like us, I will not recomend

We meant to stay for 1 night but ended up staying 3 nights. Friendly caring staff, nothing is too much trouble for them. Beautiful inside garden and great pool to sit and have a drink. The location of the hotel is great, walking distance to everything. See you next year!

Last year we stayed at the Waterfront, this year we stayed at the Graywood, which is only a short walk from the waterfront and much cheaper. It was a lovely hotel, with great facilities, great pool, great breakfast and everything about the place was wonderful. This was such good value and such a good choice in such a good location,...

Very small room which also had a sofa bed in it as it was classed as a family room. The sofa bed was too short even for the children so we decided not to stay here and moved to the log inn hotel across the road. A very budget hotel with no frills. The photos on the web site are... More

The room was clean and comfortable although the bathroom could have done with updating. The breakfast was pretty good in a nice setting and the staff fine. Car parking was safe and secure. The pool area looked relaxing although we didn't get time to use it. Probably somewhere between a 3 and 4 really but better than average.
