My plans changed and I got to experience the Indian Cuisine. I can say it was the best curry I’d had in ages. I found the room perfectly adequate (once I’d located the light switch for the bathroom!) the door to the car park was novel and useful. Thank you for a comfortable stay and the excellent food!

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

Never seen a hotel bar close at 11 before - is this even legal - I thought guests could stay much later - everything comes with an after service bill - such as basic continental breakfast

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.

The room was comfortable but tiny with hardly any storage or shelf space. Water pressure in the wash basin was very low and little more than a trickle. Having said that, the shower was very good. The main problem was traffic noise. I'm quite a heavy sleeper but was woken up by road noise several times during the night. It was good value and ok for a one night stay, but not for a longer period.
