We think your chef and kitchen staff are brilliant. We had 4 delicious evening meals while we stayed. The menu was varied and we enjoyed each dish that we tried and it had all been freshly cooked for us. Our room was spacious, comfortable and had all we needed. Our breakfasts were delicious too, with plenty of choice. All superb!

It was the most uncomfortable bed I/ we have ever slept in. We stayed here due to not having any water supply at our house, but having got about 2 hour’s sleep from the bed being like a rock hard board and the pillows being like concrete we decided at 4.30am to go home! Never known anything like it. To add insult to injury the lady on reception made me feel like I was insane when I told her how awful it had been.

The room was immaculate, the staff friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent, hot on arrival where appropriate. My little dog was welcomed and accommodated so I didn't need to put her in the car in order to eat. The area is lovely. The only problem is limited parking - I arrived after an horrendous 8 hour journey to be told they had 2 functions going on so I would have to park on the road and walk back (presumably with my luggage!) I managed to find a corner but they need to bear in mind that parking should be reserved for hotel guests not one off function people. That did spoil my arrival but, other than that, everything was fine.
