Beautiful old inn and restaurant. Requested a level floor room and stayed in the converted "stables" - felt like a little cottage! Great atmosphere, great breakfast spread and enjoyed dinners in the restaurant. Overall - if you need to be in this area - stay here. Staff were great!

I and my wife had an amazing stay at this place. Nice clean rooms, incredibly comfortable. No room service but it wasn't required as such for an overnight stay. Definitely recommended for a short stay.

Great return visit

This was our second stay at this hotel. We booked again as we were so impressed with our first stay. They have lovely rooms, good parking and a good selection of food. All staff were pleasant and it was in a great location for the Tank museum which was the reason we stayed here. We will book to stay here again.
