We stayed at one of the lodges (across the road), not in the main hotel.
The lodge we stopped in was awesome, clean, maintained and an easy recommendation.
Our visit to the hotel for drinks was well, interesting. Hardly anyone around to help, it was a little cold inside for a breezy winters day outside and I just didn’t feel welcomed by the receptionist.
We decided not to eat at the hotel as whilst the menu sounded nice, there didn’t seem to be much for vegan taste, also this is not a pub food venue which is what we were looking for at the time.

The location is perfect. The first impression from the greeting from staff were friendly and professional. They were very helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable with modern individual pieces of furniture. The menu for dinner was delicious, offering a choice of 8 main courses. The presentation was beautiful. Breakfast was busy but the staff coped brilliantly. Such a great shame that the hotel had to remind guests that there's a shortage of staff and kindly asked customers to be patient. The customers who complain should try working in hospitality and then they might realise just how hard

Nothing was too much trouble at this place. From my wife's limited diet due to illness to the staff that always went the extra mile just because they could. Definitely returning in the near future. Absolutely brilliant hotel
