Nice rooms

Lovely hotel in a rural location, just ideal to meet up with a lady offering personal services and she found the hotel easy aswell with staff on reception kind enough to ignore the fact that she was offering special services to clients and showing her to the room. Skipped breakfast as I was tired following the night before but rooms were nice and parking was easy.

Comfy bed and good value stay overall.

Comfy bed, clean room although was quite dated. The radiators/central heating was quite loud. Staff were friendly. Breakfast service was a bit slow and seemed disorganised.

Catherine

Liked: Cleanliness
Average facility. We ordered Prosecco which had been put into our room well before we arrived so the ice had melted and the bottle was warm. The biscuits were stale. Outdoor lights were left on all night, and as the curtain didn’t fit well, we slept badly. The pillows were hard and too high. These would all be easy things to get right but they stopped us enjoying our night there

Always an enjoyable stay

There's very little not to like about this place. It's easy to find, plenty parking, decent bar, decent food, clean, fairly comfortable (even for a large unit such as myself!) spacious rooms, decent shower, all the usual equipment although no USB sockets or 240V outlet in bathroom. Of particular note - Great staff and Custard Creams in the rooms! I'll very happily stay again.
