Nice room let down by a dripping toilet
Nice clean comfy room, well specced with nice decor, however I booked a room with bed and seperate sofa bed but the room I was given was not this. It just had 1 king size bed. The whole stay was let down by a dripping toilet in the bathroom which went on all night and kept me awake. Very annoying.

A place to come back to
Stayed before. Easy check in. Room very nice. Ate in restaurant first night. Very good meal however service was a little slow. Near to where we wanted to visit so will use again. Pleasent location in centre of nice village by the pond. There is an outdoor seating area but we didn't use it during our stay.

Staff at hotel most pleasant & friendly that help make the stay enjoyable. The hotel is clean and rooms are spacious. The food is lovely and freshly cooked. If anything you need just ask and the staff will accommodate if they can. 1 of the best hotels I have stayed in that this was my 2nd stay. A nice quiet location not far by car to main towns.

Lovely place but room had drainage smell
The hotel and restaurant are both really nice, as are the modern rooms. We had a standard double room on a Saturday night which was very reasonably priced at £70 (room only)..but the meals for both dinner and breakfast were not only really great but also very reasonably priced.
The only snag was that our room had a very smelly bathroom (drains) which at times was over powering. I hope they get that sorted.

Friendly staff & a clean place
Our double room was ground level & small, the walls seemed paper thin as one could here the slightest noise from outside the door & the footsteps from the room above there were no shelves in bathroom to put toiletries out so it did feel a little cramped but we only stayed for 2 nights so no big deal the bed was really comfy & the room was very clean , we didn’t use any facilities as we were visiting family so ate & drank elsewhere
