Quiet location, room very clean and comfortable, quality of food in the restaurant is really good, with excellent service and a nice outdoor seating area available for this warm weather!! . One thing to note is the bar and restaurant closed at 6pm on the Sunday, which caught us by surprise , there is a co-op in the nearby village where snacks can be purchased, if needed

We stayed here for the Donnington historic festival. Hotels in a really good location and nice surroundings. Sadly we missed our dinner reservation due to an issue with the car. The staff recommended somewhere, but we were hungry so just eat brought us some food. Room was lovely, very comfy and a decent shower. Breakfast was lovely and overall a great place.
