Room was fine it was the service in the dining room that let it down. First night only one of the two meals arrived. Next morning our breakfast order was not put through. To be fair they did refund. Was disappointing as we had planned to stay and eat in one place.

Room very clean. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, water and biscuits available. Bed very comfortable. Clean soft towels. Bathroom fine. Would suggest a handle on the wall by the high roll top bath, but we’re a couple of ‘oldies’!! Soaps, shampoos etc were a lovely touch. Enjoyed the breakfast with a good choice of menu. Staff very helpful for our stay. We would go again and would recommend this as an excellent place to stay.

Warm welcome, good check in experience, and the room was fine. Rather dark and on the small side but clean and comfortable. The carpets have seen better days. Fairly comfortable bed, but a major problem was that there was no hot water for the beautiful tub. I had spent the whole day travelling and working and a bath would have been great but the hot tap even alone never got more than tepid. I did raise this with the hotel by email and the next morning in person and other than an apology nothing, and no reply to my email. I think it incredibly poor that for such a price the hot water was not working, and I was very happy not to stay there for the 2nd night as my plans changed. (No offer of a refund or compensation of course). Will not stay there again because of this. Dinner at the bar was nice. Excellent wine list.

I was aware that they allowed dogs but I didn’t expect to have them in the restaurant at dinner and breakfast. Unfortunately because of this I wouldn’t return. I heard other people complain about them also. The presence of these creatures was bad enough but when one started barking I just wanted to finish my meal and get out.

Stay would have rated excellent but for the hot water supplied was not of an adequate high temperature to enable shower or bath to be used comfortably - disappointing
