Staff very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean with all amenities required. Breakfast was very good, but my eggs were a bit undercooked. I did mention this to the staff. The breakfast room needs to be warm, i had to request one of the fires to be put on as the room was extremely cold. Overall a very pleasant stay and evening meal we had was excellent.

Location wise this will not be for everyone as it is a little secluded, but for those whom are looking for a base to use that isn't Town / City centre it is ideal, beautiful setting with friendly and welcoming staff; this was my second stay in as many months and although not my usual choice of hotel (usually boutique / luxury hotels) I found myself submerged in the "quiet charm" of the hotel and staff; I would also add that the beds (mattress topper / linen) is worth of any 5* hotel that I have stayed in; so comfortable with a wonderfully sized bed. Yes, there are a few elements that could do with updating but this is reflected in the price and my usually very picky self found this all part of the charm / stay.
