Loved this place. Stayed with an 18 month old and it was absolutely fine. Standard room size but it fit their portacot (which was very well looked after). There are stairs so I asked if I could leave my pram downstairs and staff didn’t mind. All of the staff were just so accommodating, helpful and kind, something you cannot underestimate when travelling with small children. The is plenty of parking and there is are huge grounds for playing in. It’s close to town if you don’t mind a 20 min walk or a 2-5 min drive. Would definitely stay here again!

Very easy to find and centrally located. A bit of road noise, and unfortunately was awoken by some kind of alarm at 4am followed by continuous beeping. So that was the end of sleep that night. Very nice and friendly staff and restaurant food was excellent.

This is a large venue and we didn't realise it was there! The shared areas feel dated, however the rooms are clean and updated.
