Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated in a beautiful location, perfect for enjoying the surrounding winter views. The staff is exceptionally friendly and obliging, making the stay pleasant. However, the bathroom shower unit showed signs of rust, which was a drawback. The gardens and outdoor pool at the foot of BoxHill are great features to look forward to.
The hotel had its ups and downs with a fantastic sheltered terrace in the room but lacked cleanliness with cobwebs, dust, and food scraps under the furniture. The staff were a mix of wonderful and rude, unable to program key cards due to technical issues. The location was excellent, near Box Hill with great walks nearby, but there were disturbances from wedding celebrations each night. The dining experience was subpar with self-service and cold food. The facilities seemed average, missing extraordinary dishes and a vast breakfast choice, although the full-size swimming pool was a highlight.
