Woodland sanctuary with open fires

Crackling open fires welcome guests to the cozy lounge, setting the tone for a woodland retreat. Borrow wellington boots to explore the forest paths and grounds. The restaurant earns high praise for its exceptional food quality, with what many call "the best hotel breakfast" they've experienced.

This hotel outside appearance is uninspiring, however inside the bar & restaurant it is welcoming with a roaring fire lovely on a very cold day. Food is excellent, particularly the breakfast, with an interesting assortment. Our room was a good size & thankfully near the car park as when you access the hotel through the back door it is a route march to find reception.

Staff were all excellent and very welcoming. Food esp the breakfast was superb. Room was far to hot - had to have all windows open and radiators off - can not be good for the enviroment! Found a few (10 ish) clothes moths in the room, so had to hot wash all clothes on return home. This was reported and I would like feedback on the actions of the hotel
