Too hot at night instructions to adjust would have handy, room was nice and clean though. We were staying as we were attending a party and the food was delicious, sadly I couldn’t say the same for the bacon on the breakfast it was not cooked through the rashers were still folded in half as they come in the packet. We had a two night stay but sadly will not be booking again

Free parking. Plenty of space to walk your dog. Friendly staff on check in. It is a bit of town but that does mean it's quiet.
The food was impeccable. All the staff were so helpful, even helping my old dad to use the small lift as he couldn’t walk upstairs.
Would highly recommend.
The hotel and staff were fabulous. The food was delicious and our room couldn’t have been cleaner, but we were above the foyer toilet and had to endure every flush, hand wash and hand dryer - which got annoying. We’d definitely stay again but would ensure it was in a different room.
My first time at this venue and on arrival I got a good feeling. Everything was exceptional and I told more than one member of staff. I heard other guests doing the same. It is rare these days to experience this level of service & attention to detail in the UK. I am truly looking forward to going back in November. a five star venue.
This is our 3rd stay at this hotel we love it here staff are friendly polite and helpful lovely seating areas. Lovely and quiet ! Amazing air con in the room especially with the heat over last weekend!!
Had a lovely stay. Service by all staff was warm and professional. Hotel is beautiful and breakfast was fabulous. Lots of choice and in a beautiful restaurant.
Would definitely stay again. Please thank the staff for me.

Reallly enjoyed the stay, the staff made it
All the staff were so professional and warm welcoming, everyone from the receptionist's, to the bar staff, cleaners and breakfast attendants. The hotel could do with a bit off a renovation for better bathroom facilities
Great grounds and pleasant facilities. Large rooms with dog friendly access. Room provided was a little tired but very comfy. Great breakfast anf lovely staff.
