    The wc needs a thorough cleaning. We opted out of room service and it would have been a good idea to provide toilet cleaner.

    Nice breakfast, peaceful surroundings and not far from town centre.

    Bed and pillows were a bit hard and the curtains were short and let the light in

    Really nice self contained garden room. Plenty of parking for my horse box, Good central location. Very clean and well presented hotel. Option to exchange needless house keeping for a free drink was good - and taken up.

    a little more attention should be given to the detail of the room.both curtains were hanging down as numerous hooks had come undone on both sides. the bedroom was pleasant and comfortable, however the bathroom was very tired and could do with bringing up to date or a face lift. . .

    chalet room in lovely setting.. Beautiful grounds

    strange rattling noise coming from what I thought was the bathroom all night. room was also very hot & no latches on the windows so I had to close them overnight. the bathroom also has slight mould near the shower unit. loo flush handle virtually broken

    I stayed in room 52 which was classed as a garden room. overall the room was average.

    Room not sound proof - lots of banging doors in the corridor early morning. Emergency exit door from corridor to general access exit often left open meaning general public could walk in and making it a security concern.

    Daughter enjoyed the breakfast. Nice garden. Good size room

    There was no evening food available because of a wedding taking place...ok I understand why but prior notice would have been useful. The breakfast was served to us, even though on the menu it said it was buffet service...

    The bathrooms are tired looking, the toilet seat wobbled and the shower’s temperature kept fluctuating. It’s a shame because the rooms are much fresher and cleaner.

    A comfortable room , quiet with some nice touches such as a welcoming note on the bed. A good choice at breakfast time.

    The hotel is very dated and the bathroom desperately needs replacing. The breakfast was adequate but not inspiring - a thermos of hot water and individually wrapped teabags instead of a fresh brewed pot. I wouldn't choose this hotel for any other reason than convenience. There are 2 EV charging points but when we were there one car had parked across both spaces so we were unable to use this facility

    It was good value for money. The staff were pleasant and it was very quiet. The room had everything needed for an overnight stay. We just needed to stay over in this area so it was sufficient.
