This is a real gem! Starts with a very warm welcome from the lovely staff and we were lucky enough to be there for bank holiday and live music and BBQ in the beer garden! Our rooms were beautifully decorated, clean and great beds! Best nights sleep! Also catered for the heatwave with fans provided and fresh drinking water for guests. Breakfast is fresh and cooked to order - delicious! Only downside was I didn’t stay long enough to be able to eat dinner with you too! Highly recommended

The staff were so friendly and welcoming. I was staying there for one night due to work. My room was exceptionally clean and my bed was that comfortable that I really did not want to get up in the morning. Shower was lovely. I only drink decaf and the hotel was really accommodating in putting decaf drinks on my room. I loved the original window, black out curtains did exactly what they was supposed to do. I was gutted I only had one night there but will 100% book there again when staying in the area. Restaurant was also lovely, and the small breakfast was just as filling as a large one. A great stay and great experience 💖
