6/10 Good

Late evening book in welcomed, felt a little chilled, bit noisy through the night and difficult to fill the kettle, used a small glass in the end. Breakfast was freshly cooked but sadly just warm when we received it. The room was clean and tidy, staff lovely and nice service. Was only there fora few hours so did not want to raise any complaints.

10/10 Exceptional

Every member of staff we encountered was so polite, friendly and helpful in particular ALEX who would go the extra mile It was a quiet place to stay which was warm, quiet and everything was close at hand. The menu was limited in choice but was very tasty and enjoyable.
Paul, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

OK but could be good

Overall stay ok. Had a downstairs room next to reception which was very noisy. The room was an accessible room which was slightly awkward as the bathroom was set up for wheelchair use and all the mirrors were at waist height. The chef was off sick so no food available and the breakfast was limited with inexperienced young staff member who clearly had little training on waiting tables.
