Lovely break
Our room wash really nice, everything as expected. Unfortunately the occupants in the next room were shouting and making too much noise at 2am but the night team soon sorted that out. Food in the bar was very tasty and good value.
Will definitely stay again.

Nice place, friendly staff, slow breakfast
Good location, clean room and friendly staff. Breakfast service however is not that speedy, allow 35/45 minutes. I ordered a cooked breakfast but left before it arrived as I couldn’t wait any longer (single person table next to me received their breakfast even ordering after me). Mcdonalds breakfast for me!

Lovely rural hotel
Lovely and inviting hotel in lovely country surroundings. Had a superior room on ground level which was very clean and created a calming atmosphere.
The evening meal and breakfast were superb in the stunning conservatory area.
Highly recommend this hotel.

Nice and helpful.
The room was clean, spacious and staff were nice and helpful. The breakfast was good, with hot and cold options.
The beds were fine, being a little hard for our comfort. Pillows also not our comfort.
We did have some excellent service on having left an item in our room and they sent it on promptly.
Overall a nice place to stay for our family of four, over two rooms.

After a long journey we were welcomed warmly. Our booking for dinner in the bar was good and food great. White wine could have been more chilled.
