Lovely stay from start to end. Wonderful friendly service. Super restaurant and atmosphere. Highly recommend.
We’ve stayed here several times in the last few years as it’s a great base.
The room was good, quiet and comfortable. The staff were friendly however they were met with difficult conditions. As one of the only places to eat in the village the hotel had run out of over half of the menu. This caused a few issues for many of the guests as it wasn’t communicated until you tried to order.
On check out day we discovered that the lock mechanism on our door was faulty and we were unfortunately locked into the room. The phone number provided wasn’t manned so we were left with trying to get someone’s attention by banging on a window (which also wouldn’t open) Finally someone came and managed to get the door open. Once downstairs there were no staff to speak to other than a waitress in the restaurant area.
In all a bit of a disappointing few days stay at the hotel.
Another stay here. But have to say this was the most disappointing room we have stayed in here from all the times we have stayed. Signs of damp in bathroom and just inside front door. Room was nice but small
The staff were delightful and really went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. Including a hand written note in my room upon arrival and addressing me by name at breakfast. Something I've never experienced before. A great place.
Great setting and a well appointed hotel. Very friendly staff and the breakfast team was particularly welcoming. The breakfast itself was excellent and whilst the evening meal was good it was also over priced.
The room was comfortable and clean and we overlooked the village square which made for a pleasant view. The shower was not the strongest but the fluffiness of the towels made up for this blip.
The decor was a little shabby in places but nothing that spoiled the trip.
When we arrived they couldn't find our booking but they were so helpful and sorted it out very quickly the staff's makes this place so welcoming and helpful from reception to bar and restaurant wow defo 10* from us only thing let it down was the cooked breakfast but cold for selection was spot on. Staff were so funny made our day as never been before and was like we were regulars. Thanks so much for sorting a lush room out..
