Price . Rooms are functional and clean . Owner is amazing and staff are great
The friendly staff were phenomenal. Despite being really busy preparing for over 200 guests for Christmas lunch nothing was too much trouble and they took time to look after us. We had two breakfasts there and an evening meal, and all were really excellent.

The Indian Restaurant onsite was excellent
The family room out in the stable block was very noisy (the people upstairs very noisy!, creaky floorboards, lots of doors slamming, people directly outside our room talking/smoking etc. We woke early and therefore wanted breakfast earlier, but the main house was locked, lights were off and no staff about. So, we had to leave without breakfast sadly (as no flexibility with their timetables)
Great venue and a family who really care about their business The food was some of the best Indian food I’ve tried and the venue and rooms spotless
The room was tidy and comfortable with good facilities, I have stayed a few times and not had an issue
The rooms could do with some modernising to bring up the standard such as larger TVs and lighting but these are minpr issues
Lovely food and area very friendly staff
Was bit out dated could do with a bit of an modern revamp
The location was great and we had food in the afternoon which was very tasty. The evening in our room however was not so good. It sounded like a herd of cattle where in the room above us and it lasted most of the night
Quiet time would of been good
Fantastic food.Room was surprisingly good.Excellent staff
Location perfect for us. Had a meal in restaurant on our second night and it was superb. We had the peppered steak pie that was to die for and a chicken burger that was great too
Bed very uncomfortable. Room very tired and in need of TLC. Heating was on at the wrong times.
Great location. Nice bar. Great curry restaurant. Lovely helpful staff. Hot water and a proper bath. Nice big room in the main house with settee and chairs. Comfy bed.
Room was cold, very dated building, needed some love and money spending on it. Cheap stay though.
Lovely bed, spacious room, great breakfast
Shower did not work, however bath did. Decortion tired, missing paint, no USB charging points.
Had no breakfast
The dirty pillows,mattress and quilt. Dated poor furniture. Cold room .
Lovely clean large room in the annexe.
There was noise above. Someone walking about which disturbed our sleep
The hotel staff were without exception excellent; warm, friendly and welcoming. We had an evening meal and breakfast at the hotel, both were very good and very good value. The Friday night curry was exceptionally well cooked and tasty.The hotel inside is well presented and looked good with the Christmas decorations going up. Our bedroom was clean, comfortable, but a little tired. The hotel's exterior needs some work.However, we were pleased with our stay there.
The bedroom was a little cold.
We stayed for one night Pleasant stay with my husband and some friends Staff all very helpful and friendly Very reasonable price for our stay We will definitely stay again
Rooms a little dated but we're very spacious Bed bit lumpy and uncomfortable
Staff nice and good bar. Room comfortable
Bed smallBathroom door very dodgy and got stuck in there twice.Room next door came back at 3.30am shouting and swearing and when asked to be quiet then continued until 9am so got very little sleep, along with room upstairs being very loud through the ceiling.
Location and parking was good
It was very old and run down. We had to walk through the pub with our luggage to get to our room. There were bugs crawling all over the bed and the whole accommodation area needs a renovation.
