Would stay again as better than any place in the local area. Positives Clean tidy, good room and relaxed, lovely people who are very helpful. Breath of fresh air compared with other popular local hotels and comparible pricing. Free onsite car parking Great food with inclusive breakfast. Very minor niggles for very fussy people but not enough to drop from a full 5 stars: -Need to be very careful walking on the road to walk to the bus stop as no pavement so easier with a car. -Breakfast can be very busy on certain days so plan ahead and ask when quiet/busy times are. -instant coffee in room was not up to much.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Hotel is very nice with welcoming staff. Room was comfortable and well equipped (hairdryer, iron and ironing board). The only complaint I have is the tower rail in the bathroom was constantly on and therefore it was boiling in the bathroom. We had to keep the door closed and the bedroom windows open Similarly the heating was bouncing in the corridors, a waste of energy in my opinion. 2 male staff outside early in the morning need to be more considerate. Not sure if they were on a cigarette break but very chatty and noisy outside bedrooms.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We were in room 12 which is cramped and next to the exit door which made a bang everytime someone came or left even late at night. We had a booking issue that could be traced back to an ownership change. They seem to use sourdough for everything, so when toasted becomes rock hard. My wife needed a steak knife to cut into the muffin provided with her eggs benedict breakfast. I was sick during the night, not sure why.

Excellent place for a quiet getaway

A very enjoyable stay. Convenient location for visiting National Trust properties in the area. Quiet and restful. Ample parking. Excellent breakfast menu if service was a little slow one morning. Poor channel choice on TV.
