Enjoyable stay

Our second visit, and more planned. Beautifully decorated, and clean rooms. Had a lovely meal in the pub. Some of the rooms are upstairs and down fairly long corridors, so my only advice would be to book directly, to ensure a ground floor room if needed.

Newly refurbished & comfortable room.

Excellent, newly refurbished and comfortable room with good amenities. A bit warm at night but realise you can't control the weather! There was a fan provided.

Booked a family room as we are 2 adults and 2 kids age 15 and 11 arrived only had 3 beds Shower was hanging off the wall , sink was blocked, the place is card only and sevice in reception is very slow as you have to wait for a member of the bar or a waitress to be free to come to reception Will not be returning

No ales available in bar. Food was good but time taken to cook food was very poor. Breakfast started at 7am but no food came out for over 30 minutes - not acceptable on a business trip. Evening meal took 2 1/2 hours before starter came out. Would be a great hotel / location if not for slowness of kitchen.

Room was good new. I was in one that was quiet had no issues. Only issue was being thrown out the pub at closing time without any warning of last orders or consideration that we were hotel guests. Left to finish our drinks outside

Fit for purpose.

Good room, bfast options good, anemic sausages only down side. Bfast timings could be earlier than 7am due to location and requirement to drive to place of work.

There was no breakfast with our booking yet it was advertised with breakfast the Sunday before and yet we paid nearly £10 more for our booking.

excellent accessible overnight stay

I was only staying overnight but I was very comfortable - I am over 80 and disabled so that was very important. The only problem was that although I thought I had booked an accessible room I hadn't so it is important to talk to the reception team - who swiftly corrected that and found me an accessible room within a few minutes. I didn't like the AI receptionist who answered the phone but she is easily sidestepped by just insisting 'Manager' and you get put through. The dinner was very good.
