    There wasn’t much on the menu at the restaurant for vegans. But talking to staff they made sure I got a lovely breakfast. Landings and stairs to the rooms were a bit creaky so could hear people passing at night/in the morning but a minor minor thing, didn’t wake me up or stop me sleeping!

    The room was excellent, spacious, comfortable and clean. I did have to unplug the mini fridge but after that had a great nights sleep. Staff were happy to help with anything I asked about.

    The weather but that was nothing to do with the hotel. Even with the lousy UK weather the hotel was a very pleasant place to be.

    A beautiful boutique hotel, amazing grounds, tastefully furnished with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere

    I found a wee bug in my bed, but I just popped it out the window and it was all good. Bugs do appear from time to time and it isn't a mark on the cleanliness of the hotel.

    Dot is a fabulous host and the food was delicious! Lovely clean bedroom and nice location away from the town centre but only a 5 min walk in. Breakfast was great with lots of options and snacks to take away for the day. Mini fridge in bedroom too.

    It had character, the room was large, it has a lovely garden to walk in, it was close enough to the town centre for convenience but far enough away to be quiet. The owners and staff were all very friendly.

    Bedroom was very large with plenty of room but wished I had asked for a room with a bath to relax in.

    Food was very good! Lovely breakfast but we also ate in the evening and had a very nice hearty dinner.

    I didn’t like that booking by Booking.com it cost me £40 more than had I booked directly with the hotel. Definitely will be returning, but would book directly with the hotel.

    Breakfast amazing, Dinner exceptional. Everything was just perfect.

    A comfortable stay where staff bent over backwards to help me

    In the bathroom there was a notice asking not to put anything but toilet paper into the toilet but no sanitary bin for disposal any other way. The only bin was in the main room and had no lid. I thought the room could have benefitted from more period style art work. The bright red clashed with the subtle grey wallpaper, as did the brown cushions.

    The property has a beautiful garden and is a stunning property, with a very welcoming entrance area. I’d been placed in a room more suited to my needs - getting ready for my wedding - at no extra cost. There was also a huge mirror to use. I was also offered a bacon butty in my room. The staff did bend over backwards to help. The room was comfortable, the bedding felt lovely and I slept very well.

    The room was lovely and the food was very good apart from not much choice, just the Christmas menu, but I expected that as it is a small hotel. The lady work there was excellent.
