The hotel location is ideal for exploring the local area. Our room was a good size and the bed was very comfy. However, the room & bathroom would benefit from a deep clean!

Moving beer barrels at 7am = not great. However, the staff are absolutely fantastic. They are very friendly, helpful, have a great sense of humour and nothing is too much trouble. Dinner and breakfast were very good. We were staying in the annexe but not far to run in the rain!! Thank you for the fizz for our celebration and a great stay 50 years after the first time we visited.

I would love to have given 5 stars for this property but 2 things let it down. 1. One member of staff who served breakfast was quite rude. All the other staff deserved 10/10 2. The room was quite noisy at night, being at the front of the hotel.
