Would recommend this place. The village itself is an amazing place. The hotel staff were all friendly and helpful. The bar and restaurant were good and well priced. The room was comfortable and clean but the bed could have been better. Given the age of the building I thought it was very well maintained. The breakfast was fantastic and gets you through the entire day. The meals in the restaurant for dinner were good also.

Good sized lovely looking hotel. Comfortable spacious room (suite) but in need of a refurb overall. The fixed menu 'table d'hôte' wasn't great but the breakfast was excellent. Good service and friendly staff. A 10 minute walk into town. If you want to walk, turn right as you exit the front door and you'll see a path down to the road.

Great hotel in an excellent location, just a short walk from the station. The pool and jacuzzi are lovely, and while the hotel could use a little TLC, it only adds to its charm. The breakfast was excellent – highly recommended. Thank you 😊

Solid nights sleep.

Staff were attentive and knowledgeable about the area. Leisure facilities were great. Room was very spacious although shower head was very narrow and felt like a hose rather than a shower. But other than that, no complaints.

Love where the hotel is great location and parking was fine Felt staff were not too helpful at times especially when trying to get a soft drink or tea at the bar. I had a problem with the fan in the bathroom which made a terrible noise the first night I switched it on and then stopped working. I reported it in the morning and was told someone would fix it but it never happened which was not too good when having showers etc

Unsatisfactory

Leisure not living up to expectations with regard to changing rooms, only two not enough. The hotel itself requires a complete overhaul, the window frames were not cleaned. The rooms are cold even though the radiator was on full. The floors are uneven in our bedroom and also the corridor. Found the staff very unfriendly, need training, especially the bar staff which made me feel like an inconvenience. We will not be returning, especially as we paid for two nights and left after the first night
