The staff were very friendly and helpful, from check in to check out, the breakfast was very nice, plenty of choice and good quality food. The bed was very comfy and the room was clean ..have no complaints. The hotel itself is not easy to find without the use of a satnav, but being in a quiet location and with the comfy bed a good night’s sleep was guaranteed.

breakfast was a disaster, items not stocked at same time, so no bacon and by time bacon came no eggs and by time eggs came no beans:( very poor. the apple juice was also not working. worst bit about our stay was that I booked a quad room for myself and children ages 18, 16 and 12. We were given a room for 3! Went back to reception and told that this is a quad room! That they get complaints all the time as there is just one very big bed and a sofa bed! That is not suitable at all for 3 fully grown women. it resulted in a dreadful nights sleep. Also I question completely that it is a quad room since we only had 3 cups, 3 glasses, 3 towels, we had to go to reception to ask for more. utter disgraceful.

Room was clean and comfortable. Staff at bar/reception were flitting from job to job and 3 x drink glasses were dirty and handed back. Breakfast was tasty, but inefficient service. Booked a slot at 9.30am for breakfast. Had to wait 15 minutes for food serving receptacles to be replenished only to be told "the oven is only small!" Breakfast was carrying on until 10.30! No teamwork tbh with each staff member paddling their own canoo!

Initial check in was great. Smooth and helpful however the stay went downhill after that. Having driven 4 hours we decided to eat in. Mistake. I ordered the buttermilk chicken burger and my wife the lasagne. When the food arrived I received a beefburger (I don't eat red meat). I returned to the server to explain and she offered to replace with the chicken burger. 20 minutes later it arrived (minus the pulled pork) but by this time my wife had finished eating so both of us ate alone. By way of an apology I was offered a dessert. Unfortunately despite sitting with an empty plate the waitress disappeared. At 5:30 am the rubbish bins were collected from directly under our window. The vehicle reversed, loaded and kept the engine running throughout. When I mentioned all of the above to Reception staff in the morning although, eventually, they agreed to refund the cost of the one meal excluding my drink! I asked whether the hotel was full and was told it wasn't so I asked why we had been given that room as I had booked and paid in advance and had arrived early on the Sunday. Surely there are other twin rooms available? I could see there was nothing else the Receptionist was prepared to do so I asked the hotel manager to contact me to discuss the matter further. As I write this I am still waiting for contact to be made. It's a shame because it could be a good stop off hotel

Lovely staff. Room in need of attention. Smelt very damp & musty. All the tiles grout on bathroom floor, needed re-doing, stains on carpet, window was masking taped up, unsafe tv cord which we had changed. Think theyd overbooked rooms as breakfast was crazy, people stood eating next to our table!
Tv didnt work, then we saw this unsafe wire
