"Nice location, quiet room, mostly clean, pleased to see there was a fan available. We were disappointed that the pub doesn't serve food on a Monday night. We missed breakfast as had to leave before 8am. Decent place to stay, would go again. A little tight for parking but worked out okay."
"A little bit tired: for example a very worn, saggy mattress on the bed and a shower that was adequate but no more. The staff were friendly but the hotel itself needs a refurb."
"A lovely location with lovely grounds which are being worked on to make them even better.
The staff were very welcoming and friendly.
Breakfast was great.
Happy to recommend and would stay again."
