Quiet relaxing stay

Our room was spacious and located on a courtyard away from the main building. The restaurant was quiet so we had a good night's rest. The breakfast was just scrumptious.

Picturesque environment and cosy accommodation

The hotel is part of a historic inn which was very atmospheric. We stayed in a family room for 3 people and the room was warm and cosy and welcoming as we arrived just before 9pm and it was a bit chilly in the countryside. Breakfast was excellent and in a nice dining room in a genuine rural setting. Service was friendly & excellent.

The Hotel is a quaint little old fashioned place in what can only be described as the middle of nowhere. The room was very comfortable and does everything you need from a hotel room. They could put some shower gel in the bathroom though. It was unusual not to find those small extras.

Highs and lows

I must first of all say the staff are lovely and the food was good pub food. Now for the room! I have never experienced staying in a room when the people next door flush the Loo, take a shower and turn on a tap creates a ridiculously loud noise in the room i was staying in. I had very little sleep. I travel every week for work and stay in similar places this at over £112.50 including breakfast was very expensive the room was incredibly basic, bed was not comfortable, no fan and it was warm. No room snacks or water, tea bags handed and in a tin. As i said all very basic. Oh and you need to be very small to use the bathroom smallest i have ever seen. To top off a sleepless night we then stood in the car park for just over 15 mins waiting for them to get up to have breakfast along with other guests. This then made us late for our meeting. To finish on a high the pub is in a lovely location and would be ideal for walking break.
