Had a really good stay. The hotel was good value for money and everything was as expected. A few parts of the hotel look a bit tired, but nothing that bothered us at all. The surrounding countryside is beautiful with some great views. Overall, well worth the money and I'd happily stay again. Highly recommended

Property location is good and staff worked hard to please guests. Condition and cleanliness of the property isn't great, and proximity to the road was an issue in my room - every time a HGV hit a pothole outside the floor of the room shook.

Liked: Cleanliness
Overall, a good value for money stay. Slept very well in a very comfortable bed, duvet and room at the right temperature. Overall room was very clean although the carpet was rather grubby. What really let the stay down was a very small sink which is not really fit for purpose in a hotel room - only suitable for washing hands, completely impractical for washing the face etc.

This was not the Hotel I booked. The ownership had recently changed and the restaurant was now Indian and the bar alcohol free. Breakfast was a sham at £12 for the cheapest possible fare and very limited choice.

Staff were doing their best to help. Maintenance is poor, with a wonderful collection of black mould in the en-suite. Noise from the road is almost unbearable. I made the mistake of booking 2 nights and certainly won't be going back.
