A great stopover to visit friends.....

Easy to find with lots of free parking. A warm welcome in a stylish reception. A spotlessly clean, spacious and nicely decorated room. A comfortable night's sleep. A powerful shower with complimentary toiletries. Again a warm welcome at breakfast. The dining room is bright and modern and a lovely place to eat. We were told to help ourselves at the continental style buffet and given a hot menu with lots of choices to order. Service was fast and we were really happy with our food choices. It was a good breakfast to set us up for the day. A lovely place, great value for money, we would recommend to others and definitely stay here again ourselves. Well done to all who work there including those behind the scenes.

Excellent hotel with very welcoming and helpful staff. Extra bonus was the EV charging point in the car park. High quality food and varied menu, including vegan options. Only minor issue was the cooked breakfast was only served from 7:30am, which affected my early start, but otherwise very good. Great location, easy to find and in a lovely setting with gardens and outdoor tables. Highly recommended.

Very enjoyable stay.

Visiting the area house hunting. The hotel was perfectly located to get around. Very comfortable room, warm and very well appointed. Breakfast was excellent, and the evening meals too. Unfortunately the Sunday roast was disappointing, but all in all the food was good. The staff were excellent, efficient and friendly. Special mention to Sasha in the restaurant, who went above and beyond to provide great service, especially when the Wi-Fi failed and our order was lost. Thankyou all.

It was clean and tidy quiet, it felt like flat, not a hotel room. You went up some stairs to your room, there was only one other room.. You had a view of the court yard, or of a field both.. had everything you need in the room very spacious..
