Excellent food and generous portions from a very wide and different to normal menu. Room only let down slightly by old and uncomfortable pillows and the bathroom extract fan not working

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.

Lovely staff and lovely room
Lovely friendly staff, garden room was lovely and clean and well equipped….only problem we had was the heating was set at 35 degrees upon arrival and it took a while to cool it down with windows and doors open.
Would stay here again without a doubt

We were in the outdoor cabin number 2 and there was no hot water. The duty manager came and tried his best to get into the boiler cupboard but the lock was on the wrong way. At this point we were told to see the GM at 7am as there was nothing else he could do and no other rooms
