"We had an excellent few days at this hotel. We stayed in a superior double room. It was very spacious , with a large bathroom and a balcony overlooking the grounds. It was useful having a chilled cabinet and other facilities such as an iron and ironing board. Tea bags , coffee, water and biscuits were replenished daily and the toiletries were of a nice quality. We ate 4 times at the hotel as the food was so good. They had a good range of gluten free options and this was one of the reasons we chose to stay here ( I checked out the menu pre - stay). We felt the prices were a good price considering the high quality of the food. The staff were friendly and helpful. We definitely would stay here again."

"Really lovely stay and a great surprise. The room was much bigger than we expected and we were really pleased to find that the kids effectively had their own little room within our room, with really good-sized bunk beds. It made such a difference travelling as a family and everyone had plenty of space. The staff were absolutely outstanding, genuinely friendly, welcoming and helpful, and really added to our stay. The room was comfortable, the water pressure in the shower was excellent and, oddly important after a long day, the TV was simple to use without having to fight with it! One useful update is that the hotel does now have an alcohol licence, despite some of the information we received beforehand suggesting otherwise, so drinks are available from the bar added bonus. We were only there for one night but were genuinely impressed. It was excellent value for a family room and we would very happily stay again."
