This property was a great stay and we will be using it again soon , it was safe, clean and the staff were very helpful. We had a slight issue of having a bar below us and it was a bit loud and they lit the fire for the oven each night so ment we couldn’t open our window for smoke coming in. It won’t stop us from returning though.

Great stay

We had a great stay overall. Parking was a bit tricky to find initially (go past the pub then turn left) but reception told me where to park. Comfortable room with all amenities provided to cook. Wasn’t absolutely spotless but it was clean enough. Friendly and helpful staff and the phone passes were a faff but it worked out well in the end. Option to get cards so that’s nice. Overall very comfy and would happily stay again, especially if it was cheaper.

Overall very good. I feel there should be better signage arriving at the property on foot to show where the entrance gates are. And also once in the main gate it isn’t clear which is the main door.

Everything about the room itself and check in was great. But at check out this is the second time we have paid extra for late check out and second time we were woken up with a very large aggressive bang on the door before 10 am. Today they knocked TWICE. Feels pointless paying extra when I can’t sleep in anyway. Not to mention the aggressiveness of the knock is actually scary to wake up to.
