Good stay. Beautiful hotel and grounds. Room clean and had all required amenities, although I found the bed a little too soft, but my husband slept well. Staff very friendly, although we requested extra tea bags and milk twice, but it didn’t arrive. Went down to reception but unmanned. However, Harry on the bar was brilliant.
As always the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly (Shirley was lovely: smiley, chatty, courteous and efficient)
Food, as ever, was very good and as real ale drinkers, we appreciated the good beer on offer. Breakfast was excellent, but the coffee was very weak and not to our taste
For the first time, we stayed overnight. Although the room was fine, it felt a little underwhelming after the surroundings in the restaurant. Mould in the bathroom was unsightly.
Privately-owned, and service reflects this. Staff are extremely friendly and efficient throughout.
The restaurant is first class, with an exciting menu, and the food was very good indeed.
The hotel feels modern with an elegant design, yet obviously has history. The "new" extensions complement the old.
My only concern (and mild disappointment) was the shower which takes a long time to get going and was just a little cramped. Otherwise, the room was fantastic and most importantly, the bed was wonderfully comfortable.
I would not hesitate to recommend a stay.
