This was an amazing find. The rooms were very spacious beautiful decorated and very warm. Staff were all really helpful and friendly. We ate in the restaurant on the evening and the meal was delicious. Loved the decor of the bar/restaurant and the open fires and candles created a very homely feel. Reasonably priced too.

Our host was very welcoming. we’d had really good communication prior to coming and so the dietary needs of my daughters were well catered for. Breakfast was delicious with lovely thick Greek yogurt and fresh fruit and warm flaky croissants. Would definitely stay again.

Really lovely

The room was lovely-much better than I’d expected. The staff were very friendly. We had an evening meal and although the menu range was quite limited, I still had trouble choosing and what you are eventually served with is high quality and presented really carefully. The only blot on the copybook was that my Mum, who I was sharing with, was the first to use the toilet and on lifting the lid was greeted by a bowl full of pungent waste. Other than that this was a lovely place to locate ourselves for access to Oulton Park
