Apart from that we had a fabulous stay ##### Laura Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### manbir Mar 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We returned for a stay.

Note no breakfast available, but plenty of options nearby. The hotel is due to be renovated in October and the exterior needs a bit of tlc. Good food and helpful staff... ##### peter Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Gill Jun 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Friendly staff , comfortable room , but no breakfast available whilst we stayed there ##### Gill Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Jun 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I knew we were going to be right at home the moment we walked through the door and they had The Specials playing on the sound system! Beyond that, it's a really lovely place to stay - friendly staff, great food, and a comfortable room. The village is pretty and unspoiled - it's always a pleasure to breathe proper country air. We'll return there for sure. ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Philip Dec 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Going to be brilliant.... Lovely people, great food, just an odd setup as it made no mention when booking that they don't offer breakfast during the week, and there was no house keeping service. A problem with my shower brought a rapid response from a really nice manager/owner, and in time the place is clearly going to be as attractive as its food. ##### Philip Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Malcolm Feb 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good, but will be great! Lovely hotel undergoing systematic upgrading of rooms. Ours was clean, comfortable and quiet with good distant views of the coast. Boiler due to be replaced soon, consequently, shower not hot enough. Apparently, we needed to be more patient. Food was absolutely excellent. Will visit again. ##### Malcolm Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Robin Apr 24, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Dated room and terrible shower ##### Robin Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### John Dec 13, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Poor Food and pub spot on but the room was poor black bits and bugs in the bath paint flaking of walls door to room not even painted looks awfull drink stains on side cabs I was in room 6 out the back poor but food was very nice ##### John Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Graham May 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Breakfast not available ! Basically clean and comfortable. But astonished to find out that this hotel does not provide breakfast ! Water pressure very poor - we were advised that it could take 15 minute for hot water to flow (and it did take that long) Bar closed very early. Was closed when we came back to the hotel around 9.30pm. ##### Graham Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeanette Jun 24, 2024 A big shout out to Shirley and Aaron! They were brilliant! The family room was spacious, but, no hot water to have a shower, no bin in the bathroom, no chair for the desk in the room. Limited menu. Didn’t get what I ordered on one occasion, neither did my travelling companion, she got a vegan burger instead of the burger she did order. On the plus side, beds were comfortable and the towels were lovely. TV had very limited stations and we could not angle it properly to watch unfortunately. One of the staff we spoke to said the boiler had yet to be replaced, very much like many things at the lodge. We paid for 2 nights bed and breakfast, Sunday we got breakfast, unfortunately for us we were told it was only served Thursday to Sunday so take note. ##### Jeanette Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Steph Nov 17, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The staff were lovely and the beds were comfy however, the beds should have been one double and it was actually 2 singles pushed together, one of which was broken so the 'double' was on two levels and I was on the half that was wonky so kept rolling to the middle. The accommodation itself could be amazing but it's old, dated, and needs some TLC or at least a lick of paint. There were hairs all over the bathroom from different people, the carpet needed a good hoover and there was a cable right outside the door that was uncovered and potentially dangerous. The bed had a drawer that was broken and stuck out, which I tripped over so wasn't too thrilled at that. Saying that, it was quiet, it served a purpose but I'm not entirely sure we would return. Also just to add, we did pay less than £100 so I guess you get what you pay for. ##### Steph Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise Nov 4, 2024 ##### Denise Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### John Sep 8, 2024 Liked: Staff & service ##### John Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly Sep 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Kelly Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicholas Aug 28, 2024 ##### Nicholas Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### M Aug 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It was very nice and very friendly ##### M Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Danny Aug 8, 2024 #### Wat no breakfast ! Arrived around 7.45 afterca long drive. Check in was easy enough. Was asked if i wanted to eat and told the kitchen shut in 10 minutes. Allegedly thisvdie to some football being on as the hotel info said the kitchen was opened to later. Dropped bag into room and went to the bar. Ordered food and to be fair it was good. Was then informed the hotel did not serve breakfast. That was not made clear when booking. Room was clean and comfortable. ##### Danny Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicholas Jul 24, 2024 ##### Nicholas Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Metin Jul 22, 2024 ##### Metin Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret Jul 11, 2024 ##### Margaret Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Colin Jul 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Colin Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hamilton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hamilton.h1889137.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > > [Bonkle House](https://www.expedia.ca/Wishaw-Hotels-Bonkle-House.h15996183.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature London Gatwick Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Crawley-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-London-Gatwick-Hotel.h6579.Hotel-Information) > > [The Harlow Hotel By AccorHotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Harlow-Hotels-The-Harlow-Hotel-By-AccorHotels.h950.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ibstock-Hotels-Pinewood-Lodge.h17183221.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Woodbridge-Hotels-The-Crown-Hotel.h520172.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Peterborough.h2254377.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Luxury Escapes](https://www.expedia.ca/Diss-Hotels-Unique-Luxury-Escapes.h29745570.Hotel-Information) > > [Windermere Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Windermere-Manor-Hotel.h22280374.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Gatwick Airport Central](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Travelodge-Gatwick-Airport-Central.h10160516.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Northampton](https://www.expedia.ca/Northampton-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Northampton-Town-Centre.h12543.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Milton Keynes](https://www.expedia.ca/Milton-Keynes-Hotels-Novotel-Milton-Keynes.h892420.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful Country Cottage private Indoor Swimming Pool ,Hot Tub, & Games room.](https://www.expedia.ca/Swindon-Hotels-Beautiful-Country-Cottage-Private-Indoor-Swimming-Pool.h34047025.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Peterborough by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Peterborough.h281577.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Peterborough.h2928593.Hotel-Information) > > [Heated indoor pool & spa, countryside holiday cottage near the beach & park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Heated-Indoor-Pool-Spa.h18971402.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Lumley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Chester-Le-Street-Hotels-Lumley-Castle-Hotel.h175571.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson BLU Hotel Durham](https://www.expedia.ca/Durham-Hotels-Radisson-BLU-Hotel-Durham.h2226171.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information)
