Overall Good Hotel

Good staff and a nice hotel although we found the room quite dark and bathroom dated. However, it was clean and comfortable. Food in the lounge bar was very good. Parking good too and electric charge points available.

Stayed here for a friend's wedding. Lovely spacious room. Terrific food in the bar, with outstanding service. Also an excellent venue for the wedding. We've already rebooked!

Nice property in a lovely setting. It has a particularly bad problem with flies in the bar and restaurant; so challenging that it became impossible to eat within the building in the evening. A real shame as otherwise this meant for a comfortable stay. Sadly I wouldn’t return for this reason.

The restaurant let this stay down. Lots of items in the menu were not available and communication was poor in relation to this. Service was also slow. To be fair they did apologies and were nice. Other than that, the hotel staff were excellent and welcoming.

Hotel in beautiful setting, great staff.

Our room had over bath shower not like the one we had booked. We asked for a room with a walk in shower as partner had new knee. Receptionist sorted this for us. The second room didn’t smell of dog. Unfortunately the sheets had spots of blood on - told reception on our way to dinner. Sheets were replaced and a discount of £20 was given. Good quality towels but one with a hole in. Bar staff were excellent and food was good.

Easy access from motorway but feels so relaxing and as if in the deep countryside. Lovely location, excellent restaurant and very helpful staff. This was our second stay and we will stay again.

Booked this hotel for a stop over on way home to Scotland and found a hidden gem. Set in beautiful surroundings adjacent to the canal and lovely beer garden in front of picturesque pond. The buildings and interior decor were beautiful at very reasonable room rates. Very friendly efficient staff and nice food. Couldn’t fault it for anything and will defo return.
