The staff were all very friendly and helpful. However, the room was not upto par in as much as it was dusty, I don’t think the fan, the press machine or mirrors and pictures had been done for yonks! Not really good if you have allergies (I don’t luckily) Otherwise we enjoyed our stay. It’s just a pity good cleaners are hard to come by.

Lovely hotel - room not noisy despite being on the road side of the hotel. Staff were lovely (as was the hotel cat) and the food was great (and large). Highly recommended.

Lovely stay
Large free car park, easy check in and shown to room. It was disappointing that the room was not in the main building but in a converted cottage which was accessed through a nice courtyard and up narrow stairs. The room and bathroom were small but clean and very warm as the heating was one. My suggestions for improvement would be to look at the curtains which needed attention to reduce light let in at night time. Also better pillows as this spoilt my sleep quality, plus as an added extra some conditioner to go with the shampoo and body wash. The bar area was very comfortable and the barman was very helpful. We ate an evening meal in the bar and the potion size was excellent and very tasty. The night we stayed was the football final and staff had set up a room special for people to watch the match. Breakfast was lovely and served on request-good choice and hot. Service again was excellent. To finish off Alans customer was excellent and he was happy and helpful throughout our stay- a real credit to the hotel. The garden was well maintained and had plenty of seating options and would be a lovely place to relax on a good day.
