Nice rooms

Lovely hotel in a rural location, just ideal to meet up with a lady offering personal services and she found the hotel easy aswell with staff on reception kind enough to ignore the fact that she was offering special services to clients and showing her to the room. Skipped breakfast as I was tired following the night before but rooms were nice and parking was easy.

Comfy bed and good value stay overall.

Comfy bed, clean room although was quite dated. The radiators/central heating was quite loud. Staff were friendly. Breakfast service was a bit slow and seemed disorganised.

Great place to stay

Great place to stay. Staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Rooms are spacious and have everything you need. Food is pretty good too. Hotel is in a nice countryside location, easy to find with plenty parking. Overall it's hard to fault.
