A lovely well maintained hotel. Staff were very helpful and friendly. When I arrived home I realised I had left my watch in the hotel room. I called the hotel and they posted it that day and it arrived at my home the next morning. Very impressed with the efficiency and honesty of the staff.

We didn’t eat at the hotel, so we cannot review that. But the convenience of the hotel was fantastic for our short stay. The parking on site was excellent, but do not forget to register. The staff were helpful and friendly. We stayed in one of the coach houses and it is in need of redecoration. A minor point in our fantastic stay.

Nice place to stay but it was cold outside and the rooms were cold despite radiators. They need to put spare blankets in each room. Located right in the middle of the village which was excellent. Very narrow entrance for car parking at rear of hotel

Gorgeous hotel! Staff were so lovely, the location was perfect and the rooms were so unique (we stayed in Oscar). The only issues we had was that it was pretty loud from about 7am with bin men. Nothing can be done about that, but a heads up would have been nice as we were looking forward to a lay in after a busy day. We also found some old contact lens wrappers in the bathroom and weirdly old blood on the shower wall. Was slightly disappointed but nonetheless had a great stay.
