Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Food at the Inn arrived incorrectly, and tasteless. It was removed from the bill. When we entered our room the toilet seat almost fell off when moved. The heater in the room was broken. We used the hotel pool facility. The changing rooms were dirty. Dirty nappies in the swimsuit dryer. Sauna out of order. Broken drains on the jacuzzi. When the bubbles were on in the jacuzzi the water smelled stale and unclean. On reporting the cleanliness of the facilities after complaining previously about the seat and heater the ‘customer service ‘ staff simply said. I don’t know what to tell you. There are comfy sofas but the areas but not enough and were cold despite the fires burning. We had to spend the evening in our room. No smart TV. It was bitterly disappointing for what is billed as 4 star. We have stayed in far superior hotels with far superior service.

The window in our room was very old and the wooden frame was falling apart and the window was covered with black thick mould. We booked a table in the restaurant for my birthday. We were only people sitting in the restaurant, however the waitress left us. We sat there with no service. We had to keep asking for drinks and food. Our desert arrived 25 minutes after our main course. We sat there for hour and a half just waiting for the service.

The first room we were given had mould, a bad smell, and dirty carpets, though staff did move us quickly to a better room. Breakfast service was consistently slow — on some days we were ignored and had to chase staff to take our order. Food was often cold, and we overheard other guests also complaining. Housekeeping was inconsistent. Towels weren’t always replaced, the toilet and bathroom weren’t cleaned, and rooms weren’t hoovered during the stay. For the £25 per night dog charge, we expected more than a single towel and blanket with no daily refresh. There were also maintenance issues (broken bathroom doors, stained furniture, missing remote cover), and only two disabled parking spaces which were always full. On the positive side, the spa treatments were excellent — especially Scarlett, who was lovely — and we appreciated being offered an accessible room, which many hotels don’t provide. Sadly, the overall experience didn’t meet expectations, and I wouldn’t recommend this hotel based on our stay.

We chose this hotel as it was promoted as dog friendly and we were visiting the area for hikes with our pup. Overall we enjoyed our stay. We thought the food in the restaurant was really great - especially the Sunday roast! Parking was included which was great, and there's a really nice trail right from the property that was perfect for morning strolls. The staff were very friendly and the room was spacious and nice. We did feel that overall the establishment was understaffed and it led to a subpar experience in some ways. We were constantly left waiting in the restaurant for orders to be taken and things were forgotten on numerous occasions. At the spa, they let way too many people in and it was overcrowded, loud and not relaxing. There wasn't even a spot on the wall to lean on in the hot tubs. This was a bit disappointing as its a lovely spa and has so much potential. Only sharing this feedback in hopes some small changes could be made to bring the hotel up to it's full potential!

Staff are fantastic- extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast a little chaotic. If you’re not early you can be waiting 45mins for food and they ran out of eggs during our stay. Also almost all of our group of 16 had to have tepid or cold showers which was also disappointing. That said we enjoyed our stay and we’d go back.
