Lovely staff, good location to explore the area by car, however pretty tired in need of new bathrooms, and flooring in corridoors and breakfast dining room need updating, pool was heated but not enough and also in need of regrouting around all the edge coping stones. In room kettles need descaling and tvs are really small from lile the 90s, breakfast was really good with a nice simple selection and everything cooked fresh. In summary, clean and good value but in need of a light refurb.

Staff were great, very friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable, had a funny smell when we arrived, wasn't quite so noticeable when you'd been in there a while but we could smell it each time we went in again, couldn't find the source of it though. Breakfast was lovely, great selection, food was very nice, husband e joyed the full English cooked breakfast. Would have been nice to have a little more selection for cooked meals in the evening.

Had a lovely stay this weekend. The cooked breakfast was lovely! Staff very friendly. I liked the trolley available to help ourselves to top ups of towels, water and extra tea and coffee supplies. Quiet location. Bed was a little creaky, but comfortable, on ground level which was nice too. Bathroom grouting could do with a little de-moulding, and shower heads could be a little higher. Also plug sockets by the bed would also be more helpful. But overall, i cant complain and would stay again!

Lovely place to stay!

Every aspect from the staff, to the food, to the added extra of the outdoor pool were fantastic! The hotel is on a busy road, so we thought perhaps the noise would cause an issue but we couldn’t hear it from our room. It’s an absolute little gem and we will happily return.

Nice venue, a little dated perhaps but it was clean spacious and warm. I cannot fault the staff they were welcoming friendly and attentive. The restaurant was only serving a bar menu which was a little basic but it was tasty hot, hot and good value for money.the venue is very reasonably priced and you get what you pay for, I would happily stay there again. Unfortunately the bar closed at 8pm, but there is a pub within walking distance if you’re willing to risk the dark country road to get to it.
