Stayed at New Year. Staff were great and the evening meal/breakfast was spot on.
A couple of the older bedrooms can be a bit noisy but generally very clean and warm.

We have just spent 2 nights here as part of a large family gathering for New Year and can't praise the hotel enough. Venue great - staff great and food brilliant. Rooms spotless..although some funny plumbing sounds. But didn't spoil anything. Beds so comfy. Nothing was too much trouble. Think we might be back next New Year...with more of us. Thank you The Gables for making our stay brilliant.

Staff outstanding. Bathroom sparkling. Decor is a bit dated but this did not affect our stay. My sons wedding was held there (18.12.21). The staff couldn’t have been better. Very patient with young children and some challenging adults. I worried about the food but it was also OUTSTANDING. Fresh and loads of variety. A big big thank you. You all made a magical day very special.

The hotel staff are really friendly and helpful and our bar lunch was pretty good.. I took one star off because the hotel is desperately needing a makeover.. it's looking quite tired and in need of redecoration...

Every need provided. Service throughout professional and efficient. Exceptional in one case.
After departing I discovered I had left my wedding and engagement rings in my room.We had already driven homeward for 2hrs. The manager was very calm and already had my jewellry in the safe when I called in a panic. His understanding and informative plan to return my rings was above and beyond duty.
It's how staff perform when the unexpected happens and the difference between the results
Mine were happy memories, and I would thoroughly recommend staying here knowing you are in safe, trust worthy hands

We booked the Gables after a late cancellation from our planned hotel. We rang direct and were offered a dinner, bed and breakfast deal which was too good to refuse.
On arrival we were warmly welcomed and directed to our room in the main building. The room was spacious and well equipped but some aspects of maintenance and decor could do with addressing. However the room smelled fresh and well cleaned, the bedding was crisp and spotless and we slept well.
The highlight for us was the value for money as the service and food were excellent. On our first night for starters we had a delicious homemade

Delicious freshly made food. Staff really friendly and helpful. Not far off the motorway for a pit stop if your doing along haul either. Food slightly above average price but you get what you pay for in quality and was happy to pay it. Best home made pastry I've tasted (next to mums of course).
