Pros +
- Rooms were well priced at £--- a night. Location was convenient for me.
- Good location, plenty of parking & good value for money
- Clean, warm cozy.Friendly staff great atmosphere.
Cons -
- Safety was not ideal. The door that lead to the bedrooms that needed a code opened without any code. The bedroom doors had only a minor key lock with no additional chain inside. Floorboards were incredibly creaky. Heard footsteps at 6:25 every morning.
- Property was fine , staff were fine apart from one member of staff he was very rude, not the younger guy who took our cases up to room
- Bar was closed at 10pm on a Saturday evening? Breakfast was very good but definitely overpriced for what was served.

Spotless. Staff efficient and friendly. Didn’t hear a sound once I put the light out. Powerful shower. Outstanding full English breakfast!
Wouldn’t have minded some fresh fruit at breakfast. Don’t bother with pre-packed pastries - they’re always a disappointment. Couldn’t find anywhere to hang clothes in the room. I’m nitpicking - overall, it was lovely and good value.
Great location friendly staff. Good breakfast
Good entertainment and very clean and welcoming
The door to the room was stiff and hard to open and lock
Good as we were at function there .
Couldn’t get in door at midnight, pouring with rain and freezing cold.
Everyone was so friendly and welcoming , nothing was too much trouble . Had friends over for breakfast , they was welcomed like we was . Lovely food , my 6 year old reckons it was the best cheeseburger in the world .Warm , clean and very comfortable .
nothing , everything was perfect .
Room was cold when we first arrived we had to ask for the heating to be turned on. Breakfast pricing needs to be modified. I had one slice of toast with 1 fried egg and a cup of tea and it cost £10.00.
Lovely and friendly
Room 8 was in the loft room accessible only from the outside and in the apex of the roof so my tall other half struggled to have a shower so if staying at the venue for an event and it’s raining you may get wet !
Staff were friendly.
Water pressure in shower was very poor. And very cramped where the bathtub is located. Having Sciatica and having to crowch while having a shower with poor water pressure is not ideal. I understand I was staying in the budget room but even still... Loud music blasting in the bar until midnight when trying to sleep. And the food was also poor. Also very overpriced considering I have very little next to nothing positive to say about my stay here.
Staff were friendly, however when I was asked when I checked out if I had enjoyed my stay , I said I had not had a good nights sleep because the noise from the bar was quite load in my room and so couldn't sleep. The employee replied, saying, 'well it is an old building'. Missing the point really - that you should be able to sleep in a bedroom. The noise from the bar was clearly audible above the Tv in my room.
The room when I walked in smelt a bit. Noise from the bar clearly audible in the room over TV.
Safety location for work van and easy to get too
Music was quite loud some nights
Clean, comfortable and good for one night stay
Keypad at top of stairs
It was very quiet and comfortable, staff friendly
Very busy road at the end of the lane. Steep steps up to room, fine if.able bodied though
We stayed in a budget room which was comfortable with its own entrance up a flight of outside stairs. We attended a function in the marquee so it was great to be onsite for that.
The hot water pressure wasn’t good which made showering challenging.
Friendly staff. Easy access and smart room
We went to a festival at Hylands Park. It was convenient on a main route , staff were extremely helpful and friendly and our room was spotless .
We could hear some noise from a wedding that was also taking place at the venue but really these things happen and as it’s a wedding venue of course that’s going to happen occasionally. It didn’t impact on us we were shattered!!!
Breakfast was traditional and cheerfully served.Location is very rural with good views.
I have a problem with stairs but the staff were very helpful.
Good welcome when checking in..room was clean and spacious.tea and coffee supplied and bottled water.we were opposite the marquee but wasn't a problem as it stopped soon after we arrived back..had lunch when we checked in..very good..we're not breakfast people so can't comment ..all in all a good experience
