Not much to say, very disappointed

Room was old, dirty and matesses probably 20 years old. Didn't sleep all night, worst stay I've had in 15 years. Staff was very friendly and welcoming, breakfast was good.. but was spoiled by the night before in that terrible room.

Staff were excellent, bar and restaurant lovely but things were a bit dated, a smart tv in the room at the least would’ve been a bonus as very few freeview channels available, creaky floors upstairs, also drain covers came off frequently when using the pool

Nice looking hotel in a great area. Eautiful farm country surrounding you. Nice pool. Very friendly check in person. My two complaints were the bed is a very stiff uncomfortable matress and (yes im American) the room was very warm. The window opened but it was still too warm for me to sleep even with the tiny fan provided. Not worth the $$
