"Beautiful hotel and grounds
We had a lovely relaxing two night stay in the comfort cottage. Spa was lovely and clean.
The food was amazing, great breakfast and dinner and not badly priced at all.
My only negative was I ordered a bottle of wine and chocolates to be in the room on arrival and this was missed. However they did offer the bring in the second day but we didn't bother as we had already had wine in the bar on our arrival."
"Tha staff were very helpful and polite, the hotel is well positioned for access to A1 and local bus route to Town.
The room was perfect with plenty of room and an extra large bed.
We had dinner in the hotel there was plenty of choice and all freshly cooked, excellent."
"The staff was amazing and the room was great. We were upgraded to the garden suits due to an issue with our room but they were upfront and honest and we weren't bothered by the inconvenience. Thanks for a great time."
"Second stay here. Fab place, full of character and quirkiness
Great location!
Great staff, though could do with a couple more as only 3 working in a very busy pub...and they worked hard and with a smile 😃
Seemed a little less loved this time, sadly, like a bit of paint was needed, but still a great place!"
