Stayed in the "accessible" room and it was not to a great standard. It's a shame as it seemed it was the only room of this standard and if a complaint were to be made there will be no other options. It has opened my eyes on what shoukd be addressed.

Room was ok. Disappointed in the fact the restaurant was closing at 8pm...nothing was mentioned when we booked and we travelled 4 hours didnt eat as we thought we would eat in the restuarant. But all that was on offer on boxing day was a 3 course meal which consists of Christmas dinner Luckily the Hooden Horse was open and it was very accomadating so we had food and drinks there.
