Only stayed for one night but i cannot fault this hotel in any way. room was fully air conditioned with ironing board and iron tea and coffee making facilities and TV. beds were so comfy and room was spotless. staff from check in to bar / kitchen staff were spot on. lovely venue with everything needed for a comfy nights stay 😁😁

Oh dear. Emailed this hotel prior to booking to confirm their pet policy and charges per dog. Got an email back saying £5.00 per dog, per night (which coincided with internet research on this hotel & prior reviews). Booked this hotel and was then emailed by the same Receptionist to say the price per dog is £15.00 per night. When I questioned it, I was told they made a typo in the original email and their prices had recently gone up too.. Still, we went ahead and booked as we had little choice in the area and paid £90 for us & £60 for the dogs in total for the two nights. Upon check in, we were handed a key card and a little dog waste bag holder which was a nice gesture. From the outside, this place looks alright. Inside our room, it was awful. Carpets are so old and filthy - didn’t want to step on them without shoes on. The bed was okay. The furniture in the room was all very dated. Bathroom was disgusting - flush had to be pushed hard to make it work, mirror had brown cracks in numerous parts, sink was cracked, taps were terribly stained and shower tiles were yellow. Behind the bathroom door, it had been slammed so hard many times that the wall had a door knob shaped deep hole in it. The walls in the whole room were off colour and textured - felt like we were in a prison cell to be honest. Spent the minimum amount of time in the room that we possibly could. It’s unbelievable that they charge so much per dog really and absolutely nothing was provided for them other than the little bag holder - it should have been £5.00 per dog per night as it originally was advertised online. Did not complain to Reception as we understand this is a budget hotel but would NEVER stay here again. The only positives we could find were free parking, they allow dogs and it was quiet during our stay - for every other reason, I would avoid. Whole place needs a refurb and then they could charge more per room.

Hotel staff is super friendly and helpful and went out of the normal way to help and support. Clean and large rooms, cosy bar and restaurant with very good and wide food selection. Really enjoyed our stay, beautiful countryside surrounding

We stayed at this hotel because we were attending a party there at their hall. We got in our room early as it was ready. I did not know that you had to have photo ID for proof because of people trying to get refunds on their stay.we had a double room, it was a large room, it had a TV, shower and bath and was clean. I collected an iron and mini ironing board from reception. Our party was great, but none of the guest who stayed there seemed to take no notice of the be quiet signs when returning to their rooms. It was very noisy, unfortunately we were next to some one who came back from a party somewhere else who was so drunk they just keep falling over, making lots of noise, slamming doors, shouting out, and spewing up for most of the night. We got no sleep!! I did tell the reception the next morning, they said I should have rang the night number we were given and someone would have come up to us, but what they were going to do with someone who couldn’t even stand up I don’t know. We did not have breakfast there we just checked out and had breakfast somewhere else.

Our 2nd stay here. Large parking area & lovely gardens. Last stayed in sept 2021. Nice room above the spa area. Large bathroom with shower above & clean fluffy towels. Bath panel timing was falling apart so possible recent work under the bath Not sure the help us to stay green message works with plastic throw away cups wrapped in plastic bags in the bathroom is very green!? We didn’t have dinner as were visiting friends. Breakfast last visit was pretty chaotic as was this one. Very busy hot food not kept stocked up. Ran out of bacon & hash browns so lots of people standing waiting for at least 5 mins while they refilled the pans. 3 weddings on last night but no noise. Would certainly consider again when revisiting the area!

This is very close to my client company, so I will come to stay later, and there is a Chinese restaurant nearby, you can eat cheap and delicious Chinese food, and the clerk service here is very good! !
