Lovely hotel and very friendly staff. Only minor issue was that neither window in bedroom or bathroom shut properly and it was December with a bitterly cold wind. Luckily we are ok with a cooler room and just shut the curtains. We had a small dog with us and

Staff were friendly. Had the three course Sunday dinner in the restaurant which was lovely. The bar had wood burners so was nice and snug. The room was to a high standard. We opted for breakfast in bed which again was good quality and generous. Free car parking just off the M6.

Room was excellent but whatever have you done to the dining area?!!! It used to be nice comfy chairs and (for breakfast) a relaxing and quiet atmosphere that made breakfast something to look forward to. Instead there is now ‘basic’ seating and a very echoey atmosphere that must be due in no small part to the now lack of upholstery and possibly carpet area. In short the echoey sounds made it not much better than a company cafeteria. Quite disappointing and if the hotel wasn’t so convenient and nice in other ways it might well be a case of looking elsewhere for a better breakfast dining experience.
