nice garden set up for weddings. The room was terrible see pictures, walls in poor state, no bedside tables, one useable socket, television high and on wrong wall only watch if lying on side in bed, shower dirty, paintwork peeling, toilet seat loose. Room incredibly hot (there before heatwave started) reported to reception and they refused to do anything about it. So bad we checked out early to find a decent hotel despite have prepaid for longer. The breakfasts in restaurant were poor quality. would not recommend staying in this hotel.

It was a really nice stay. The cabin we stayed in was quiet and very spacious. The only issue was breakfast was a bit chaotic, the toaster packed up and the coffee machine did not work. That said, the staff did everything to accommodate us. Overall, a really great stay and would certainly stay again when in the area.

One night stay

Nice room with everything in and nice not to have to worry about taking shower gels as all provided but disturbed by noise as walls thin as was on top floor. Reported maintenance needed as toilet flusher broken and shower door not on runners. Tea and coffee provided is a good brand and plenty to choose from with variety given Food to a high standard and large portions Staff lovely and couldn’t do enough to help and assist. Clearly work very hard to make everyone’s stay enjoyable Will return but would ask for a room on lower floors

Must try harder

When informed of my experience the staff moved me to a garden room, which whilst detached, still had average cleanliness - sit in the bath and view the dust and broken tiles, lipstick on walls near plug sockets. My original room (30) had broken thermostatic valves on the radiator, so fixed in the hot position, so wi dows open was a must. Cigarette ash and burns noticed on window cill, and the icing on the cake - a 'gift' in the toilet. Breakfast; microwaved scrambled eggs on 1 slice of toast day 1. Day 2 - i heard guests commenting how cold the bacon, sausage and mushrooms were, even the fired egg, so did without. Get the basics right and the rest sorts itself out.

Disappointing

Staff were lovely, breakfast was very good quality, but the room wasn't very clean and could do with some tlc, (mirrors dirty, something sprayed down the wall, carpet coming away at the door, thick dust on woodwork, curtains had stains on them) Very loud with a party downstairs so we didn't get to sleep until after 11.30.
