    Pros +

    • Very helpful and friendly staff. Very nice bar and bartender. Dining room is very nice and food was well prepared.
    • Standard continental breakfast for me. Those who had cooked breakfast enjoyed it. Dinner previous night was excellent
    • Having been just recently very tastefully and sensitively refurbished and decorated the hotel is visually stunning. Everywhere is comfortable and clean with a beautiful dining room overlooking a beautifully landscaped garden. The evening meal was cooked to a very high standard with a great menu to choose from. We had a standard room with a very comfortable bed and lovely decor with a touch of luxury everywhere. We were very surprised to find the vintage radiator actually worked and kept the room very cosy and the view from our window was lovely. The staff were lovely and went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay. The lovely owner spoke to us at dinner and told us a little about the hotel itself and her journey through the refurbishment and she is rightfully very proud of her achievement. Just excellent in every way.

    Cons -

    • We liked everything, we didn't have time to ask, just wondered if the pool and gym might be opening for guests in the future or maybe part of a spa facility.
    • Breakfast wasn't great for a 4 star. Continental was very limited. Hotel was practically empty and they gave us a view of the car park.
    • Expensive. Having to pay extra for potatoes and veg. Expensive for 2 scopes of ice cream. Being on the top floor when the hotel was not busy

    The rooms and facilities were very nice and clean, a nice comfortable bed and great breakfast

    The is no night porter so a member of staff had to wait around on the evening to let us in, we were at a wedding reception and we felt we had to leave early to be back to the hotel, the hotel should consider giving out a key or having a late shift, this did impact on us and we had to leave the wedding early to get in the hotel.

    The evening meals were good, if somewhat over priced.The sauna was good.

    The breakfast was poor, no porridge no fresh fruit and on two of my three mornings, no cooked food at all, just a spartan continental breakfast in the middle of winter! The hotel said they had no cook those mornings........................this is a 4 star hotel where even with genius discount and single occupancy I was paying almost £150 a night for B&B...with very little breakfast.The rooms were not serviced, beds not made, no replacement towels issued. Th shower took a long time to warm up the place was not cold but not over warm either; there was a fire but they lit it only on one of three nights.

    The hotel is easy to find, the staff were all exceptional, the evening meal was ordered and delivered on time and was amazing. Every thing about my stay exceeded my expectations.

    I could not fault any aspect of my stay

    6GenevievePosted on: 8-24-2024

    The old building, from the outside looked great. The town it is located in is small but very pretty.

    The lack of hot water and very low pressure. There was a note in the bathroom to that effect, saying they are in the process of changing their water systems. I wish I had know before booking this hotel.

    Lovely peaceful location in quiet villageStaff extremely friendly and helpful

    Comfortable room, if a little on the small side, ensuite very small

    9EwanPosted on: 8-10-2024

    Exceptionally helpful and friendly staff, good food. Lots of character in modernised original building. Pool and spa a bonus

    Only down side of whole stay was the water pressure in the shower, which the hotel acknowledged was work in progress

    8LindaPosted on: 8-4-2024

    Location and facilities were excellent.

    Dinner was lovely but breakfast was disappointing as it was over cooked. Appeared to be problems with water which they apologised for.

    7SharnnaPosted on: 7-12-2024

    Very friendly staff, good breakfast, well kept hotel, dog friendly

    Really uncomfortable pillows, light didn’t work in the room, limited towels provided. Dinner was really nice but really overpriced.

    9DuncanPosted on: 7-2-2024

    Great pool. A treat being able to play on the full sized snooker table. The evening meal we had in house was first class and really good value.

    Not into cats but wouldn't mark it down on my own preference for dogs.

    Hotel was beautiful.

    All the staff was great. With the exception of the manager/ owner. I was on a backpacking trip, so traveling with a backpack. I have booked the deluxe suite and a woman came running after me in the hall and told me not put my back pack against “her wallpaper”. She went on to follow me and quote the price of the wall paper. I thought this was uncalled for and just because I had a backpack. Does she do this to every guest that stays in these room? Wish I had asked for her name. Need better water pressure

    8ScottPosted on: 6-7-2024

    Staff and owner were very friendly, helpful, attentive and kind. Special shoutout to Alison who gave us great tips on local activities. We had booked the afternoon tea which was amazing. Dining was delicious and enjoyed taking our drinks upstairs to play snooker.

    Housekeeping were a bit too keen in the morning we were due to leave. Tapped the door and entered at same time. Thankfully we were dressed! We would have liked to use the room’s big bath but property was undergoing renovation so couldn’t use it.

    I loved the personal and adaptable touch from the team. It was a quiet period for the hotel and I sat in the lounge before dinner where the lady in charge put the fire on just for me and made me feel really comfortable and well looked after. I even had my dinner next to the fire rather than sitting alone in the dining room, it was a very lovely touch and one I will always remember. Thank you.
