Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was very clean , comfortable bed and crisp white linen and towels. Lots of hot water for a nice hot bath . The lady on reception was very friendly and welcoming. We arrived late in the evening so didn't drink in the bar. The breakfast was brilliant, good quality produce and good coffee. All of the staff we encountered were friendly and attentive. We will definitely stay again when travelling south . Although rooms a little dated, they were very spacious , clean and neutrally decorated, nothing offensive. On the whole we found the hotel great value .

If hosting an event or wedding this place is probably fine but when you are a tourist it is miles from everything. This hotel is completely rural, you cannot walk to any pubs or restaurants, the town is a 12-15 drive. Staff are great, zero complaints. It is a bar area amd restaurant but the bar lacks charm and atmosphere. Plenty of parking. The rooms are fine but dated and the hotel does not have a lift. If you are planning to tour the general area as a tourist i recommend something closer to town where there is more to do around you

Staff are great and really make you feel welcome. Even though the menu was limited the evening meal was very good and the breakfast buffet tasted very fresh and lots of variety, though I would like to have seen potted yogurts more than just the plain variety in a bowl. The room was very clean and had a great shower, though slightly dated it’s a great place to stay in lovely grounds
