Lovely hotel, excellent service and all staff so friendly and helpful. My husband uses a wheelchair and the hotel was generally pretty wheelchair friendly. No accessible rooms as such with grab rails etc. However, after speaking to a very helpful person at reception before booking, we booked a room with level access. It's a shame there's a huge step up to the shower, so my husband struggled with that. These rooms could be made accessible relatively easily if wanted. If that was done, we'd be happy to return as everything else was fantastic!

Stayed overnight for a wedding near by. A lovely welcome from the receptionist. Easy check in and a fantastic room. The room was clean, tidy and well decorated with lots of retro items. A well stocked hamper for those that are tempted with treats. The breakfast was delicious, I tried the full breakfast on a skillet with fresh orange juice and a filter coffee. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area.

This hotel is situated in a lovely small town and in my opinion it is the central hub of the area. This hotel had everything and would be perfect for a weekend staycation. The restaurant and bar attached had amazing food, seating and atmosphere. You could spend the entire day on the property enjoying the place and amenities. Our room was small but immaculately decorated. I highly recommend this stay

We stayed in the family suite, the radiators didn’t work so the room was freezing. The room was also next to the lift and the cleaners cupboard. Late at night people were using the lift which vibrated the room and then the cleaners were loud in the morning. When checking out the receptionist wasn’t even interested!

The room was excellent. Decor was nice but one over done. I did not feel I was staying in a hotel. The shower room was bright with a frosted window giving natural daylight. My room had a fridge and snacks available in the room. I needed a few more blankets and I was easily accommodated. The staff were lovely and obliging. I truly wish I had more time to spend here and explore. I will be back.

Friendly staff, but overly expensive for what it was, dated bedroom interiors, floor tiles missing grout in bathroom, stains on bedroom carpet, shower more of a drizzle than a waterfall. Poorly laid out room, obv designed by someone who does not use the room. For instance, one relaxing chair in a double room where there was a lot of space for two chairs, or a small sofa. Very noisy selfish guests returning to rooms in the early hours, A sign up asking people to consider sleepers after hours might have helped. Restaurant cold with atrocious "music" and very slow service. If you have events on - hire extra staff to cope. Not at all relaxing. Will not be returning.

All great but on a number of occasions now the wait for breakfast has been ridiculous - up to 30 mins for eggs on toast. Our business frequently uses this hotel for team bookings and our days are often running late or having to move agendas around because of how long breakfast takes - or people are having to go without because they have to leave. You're becoming famous for this issue, please sort it!
