Lovely food, comfy beds, good access and parking, spacious bungalow. Pillows were a bit too high for me, 1 pillow was too low, 2 pillows too high. My own fault as I usually take my own. Lovely setting and views

Really nice, but could improve

The hotel on first glance is quite grand from the outside. Even inside is nice. The room was clean but the bathroom was quite tired. Build up of mildew at the bottom corners, the shower dial was broken only allowing for scalding hot or freezing cold, cracked tiles, and a sink that would take a long time to drain. The drinks were a little over priced and the bar staff kept giving the wrong drink. Cost me £38 for 5 beers and a whiskey. Breakfast was made to order with available toast, cereal, and drinks to help yourself to.

We booked a main hotel executive room as it looked to have some space and character. On arrival it was suggested we transfer to a bungalow as there was a tribute band playing that night and our room would be noisy. Same price so seemed fair enough. The alternative room was OK but the only ventilation was a velux roof light if the French doors were closed. Not being 15 feet tall we asked for it to be opened, or the required pole to be provided. This didn’t happen. We ate at the restaurant and the food was good and great value with very good serving staff. Returning to the room however, it was stuffy and the party goers booked in to a neighbouring room were noisy until 2am with security lights ablaze. Given it is clearly a location that has wedding options, tribute band nights and other similar events, if a good nights sleep is your objective then find another location. Eat there by all means!

Great value hotel

Beautiful views from our room and a very comfortable room. The main building is very old and charming but some interior decoration could do with updating. A really lovely stay and would stay again no problem.
