A lovely venue with good quality food, Given the room rate it would be good if the bedrooms had a little more home comforts like bath robes and a biscuit or something to accompany the coffee in the rooms.

Excellent choice Hotel, staff were welcoming, friendly and efficient. Room was very nice, comfortable. Would stay again.
Only criticism is the full English breakfast could do with a ramekin of baked beans, as very dry without them

We arrived early and decided to try the dining facilities. We were pleasantly surprised at the options and pricing. When the courses arrived the standard was excellent.
The room was spacious, clean and well appointed with ensuite facilities, coffee machine with small fridge and milk as well as bottled water.
The bed was very comfy.
Breakfast had many options. From toast, cereals, croissants, Danish-style pastries to the obligatory full English. Which again was fantastic.
We took our coffee into the "Arts & Crafts" styled lounge where comfy sofas and Sunday papers were available.
Parking was plentiful and close to the reception. The staff were pleasant and attentive. We were lucky to have the weather to sit in the garden. Overall, a very pleasant stay. Thank you
