It is a lovely hotel. The bedroom was comfortable and spacious. I decided to have an evening meal, but found the choice a bit limited.

Hi Ian,Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Delighted to read that you thought the Hotel was lovely and your room comfortable and spacious. We are, as you found, running an interim slightly smaller menu than normal while our new Head Chef completes his new lunch and dinner menu which will be available very soon.We trust you had a good journey home.

Nice little hotel, very clean, comfortable room and friendly staff. Only minor issue was the bathroom was absolutely roasting hot because the heating towel rail never seemed to turn off

Never again look before you book

I didn’t even make it into the front door. As we drove in there was one car in the car park and no signs of life as you looked inside. My first impression was that all the windows were shuttered up but it was the grey murky curtains it didn’t look appealing. I always take things on first impression and that was it. Very run down out side. Yet the pictures on the site make it look very appealing and smart

Hi Lee, I'm sorry you felt we didn't live up to your expectations as you looked out of your car window. Had you taken the time to get out of your car and come in you would have had a very pleasant and enjoyable stay with us. All the photos on the Hotels.com of the Hotel are recent and up to date.

Hi Adeel,Sorry we didn't meet your expectations on your recent visit. I find this surprising as this is out of keeping with our recent reviews. With no reason given it is not possible to respond. I have checked with Reception and it would seem you raised no issues while you were here either.

Friendly staff, spacious rooms and all the amenities you would expect. Booked the spa and enjoyed my treatment, but the hot tub seemed to be making everyone sneeze, not sure if the chlorine levels were off
