Beautiful period property with tall ceilings and all the usual lovely period features. Friendly, helpful staff. Hearty breakfast buffet every morning and evening meals were also very tasty. Stayed in an Executive Room which was very spacious, warm and well kitted out. Biscuits, coffee bags, tea and hot chocolate plus bottle wated provided in the rooms. Fast and efficient check-in and check-out. Would be very pleased to stay again if in the area. Thank you.

Duncan Bannatyne need to invest some of his wealth into this place, its old and tired. Stayed a few times just due to connivence of location. Rooms especially bathrooms need updating. Bedrooms are cold in winter and red hot summer. Staff are helpful and welcoming. Breakfast not too bad, they try and offer to upsell for an extra £10 for anything not on buffet (except they don't charge if you ask them to make poached eggs) having a free carpark helps, although it is small. One quirk they don't clean your room unless you request it doing - one to remember if staying a few nights.
