Heating

Lovely hotel and good food, our only complaint was that the heating in the room was not on when we arrived and we were told that it would not be switched on until 4.30 pm! Given that check in time is 3pm surely the heating should be on by then!!

Always an enjoyable stay

There's very little not to like about this place. It's easy to find, plenty parking, decent bar, decent food, clean, fairly comfortable (even for a large unit such as myself!) spacious rooms, decent shower, all the usual equipment although no USB sockets or 240V outlet in bathroom. Of particular note - Great staff and Custard Creams in the rooms! I'll very happily stay again.

Like home from home and the good old days

What an excellent place i will be returning and staying in these quaint but rustic and beautiful hotel. The rooms were bigger than an average size, the bar and restaurant was wonderful sitting next to a slow burning fire just like the good old days as a child. Food was exceptional the staff were second to none and couldn’t do enouh for you. Breakfasts were plentyful and hot.
