The highlight was definitely the restaurant meal. While room was tidy, good range of coffes, teas, continental breakfast, it was very small, especially the shower. Staff were friendly at both reception and in restaurant. Massive outdoor dining and family area. Definitely will be back.

This is the most wonderful old English-style hotel with a fantastic restaurant and pub. The internet was awful but everything else more than made up for it. Highly recommend it.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We enjoyed the spaciousness of the room, facilities and atmosphere of the whole complex. The outside building maintenance has been neglected. The roof in particular needs attention. Very noticeable from our up stairs room. The window boxes would have added the finishing touches had they been planted. The outside grounds were looking quite tired. I appreciate that to maintain a complex as you have takes time and money with little return. We both enjoyed our short time with you and will definitely return for another stay some time. Many thanks, Kind regards, Lyn and Win Holdaway. I
