It was OK! Staff are nice and friendly. Breakfast was poor in cooking and quality, beds are old and uncomfortable with springs digging in to your back when laying on your side. My TV didnt work properly but my colleagues did.

Easy and free parking, plenty of spaces. The hotel has a rustic feel and is clean with very friendly staff and the food is excellent. Rooms are nice, yes you do here aircraft but once the airport closes it’s a very quiet area. There are some nice walks nearby too.

Nice quiet room with the bonus of a hand held shower head in the ensuite (as well as fixed head if that is what you like). Staff were pleasant and helpful. Plenty of parking space. Good breakfast. We attended a private dinner party in the library one evening and we also had an excellent meal in their own restaurant the following evening.

Customer service was excellent and good availability of car parking. Close proximity to the P&J arena. From the photos on the website I thought the rooms might be a bit outdated but on arrival it actually had a cosy and welcoming feel about it. Room was comfortable and heating was on when we arrived which was really appreciated as it was a cold evening. Room was clean and facilities were great. Bathroom was spotless and towels were white and fluffy. Plenty of tea and coffee and even some hot chocolate and biscuits. Great value for money and exceeded our expectations. Would be happy to return again.
