Liked: Room comfort
Disliked: Cleanliness
The hotel and pub looked lovely and it was a comfortable room, however I had a couple of issues with cleanliness in my room. There were small marks on the duvet cover, which may not have been fresh but still make it appear used. There was also a dead spider in the bed when I pulled the duvet cover back completely. I tried to speak to someone at reception but there was no one there when I went down in the evening, or when I checked out in the morning.
Amazing and quick service even when we had an issue with the heating it was sorted really quickly. Lovely and friendly staff thank you for a raally good stay
Nice, comfortable room, great bed. Bathroom extractor didn't work and there is road noise with the window open. Excellent breakfast. Overall, I was pleased
4 day stay
Great parking and route accessibility
Bit of a climb to main 2nd floor bedrooms where you will likely end up
Never tried wi fi signal was good enough for our needs
Warm enough rooms good en-suite -tv up to date but small
Had breakfasts and used restaurant quite a bit -food great to mediocre send it back and they will replace it (very good staff)
As standards go these days would stay again
Lovely hotel. Staff very attentive. Room cleaned every day of our stay when it wasn't really necessary. Breakfast fine. Evening meals were very good and portions huge.
Free WiFi. Nice outdoor seating area. Wouldn't hesitate to return
