Not Great

The hotel was relatively easy to find and had some decent amenities. There was no thermostat in the room so cooling was done by window (which was very loud considering gravel parking lot). The bed was not very comfortable and the shower got lukewarm at best. Worst part was that the fire alarm was triggered at 1:30 in the morning and we had to evacuate for about 15 minutes (standing in the cold rain). The front desk worker did not seem to think this was an urgent issue at all, taking his time to come investigate. He simply turned off the alarm and said "doesn't look like anything is on fire, sometimes the alarm just acts wonky" and left. Very disruptive and didn't feel very safe for the rest of the evening.

The complex is very nice, the room was small for the price but everything was there, walk-in shower was excellent, the restaurant was nice but expensive, breakfast was great. EV chargers are available, slow and very expensive, I know these costs more, but over 10 times the price of home charging. The main problem was the acrid smell of raw sewage. We had to keep all windows closed, unable to sit outside where a table and chairs were provided. We did inform them at reception, but this did spoil our stay. I felt annoyed that for nearly £500 we had to put up with the smell of raw sewage for two nights.

Unfortunately, the check-in at this hotel was one of the worst I’ve experienced. Firstly, they do not accept American Express, which was inconvenient and not clearly stated in advance. The receptionist then struggled to process my alternative card, insisting it didn’t work. I politely asked her to try again and of course, the card worked perfectly the third time, confirming it was a user error on her part. What made the situation worse was her lack of apology or acknowledgment of the mistake. Instead, her attitude was dismissive and unnecessarily rude. She did not appear to have the experience or professionalism required for a front-facing role, which set a poor tone for the stay.

This is a lovely hotel. We had a room in the Pole Barn which had its own outside seating. The seating here could do with being a wee bit more comfortable, but it was a nice touch. The room was small but very well-designed - controllable temp and lighting, a fridge and a great bathroom. The restaurant was lovely - big, airy and stylish. The food was excellent adn the main bonus was the staff -friendly and helpful without fail.
