Room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was rubbish. As there is nothing around, which was not a problem, it was disappointing that Bar was closing at 10pm, with last orders at 9.30pm.

No issues checking in and room was very clean. Great continental breakfast as advertised. It would be good if the pub did food a bit later than 4.30pm as there is nothing walkable in the surrounding area. Main town is only ten min drive away though and plenty of options there. Also hotel is right next to a train station, and only max half hour drive to all the main attractions in the area - most are within 15-20 min drive. We would stay here again. Staff were friendly and it was a quiet area
