Room was clean, bedsheets felt very high quality. Friendly staff and lovely breakfast. The only reason I couldn't give 5 stars is due to the slats on the bedframe in our room fell out multiple times, which was irritating as they were difficult to put back in. Would stay again, just in a different room.

Very rare these days that I have nothing to be critical about .
We were recommended by some friends two hotels and this one had best reviews and looked stunning .
We were not disappointed at all
The staff were so friendly nothing was too much trouble
We were able to get a meal straight away and the food was beautifully presented and tasted beautiful
The whole of the hotel was beautifully decorated with gorgeous Christmas tree .
The rooms were exceptionally clean and spacious and tea coffee facilities in abundance
The beds very comfy lovely large powerful shower area

Stayed here last night for a night away with my partner. When we arrived rooms were great and staff were friendly. We had an issue with the water in our jacuzzi bath and without hesitation the staff got us moved into a new room with an out door hot tub. Greatly appreciated. Prosecco in the room. Hot tub, breakfast was lovely an all round gem of a place, will definitely be back

We recently visited here and I've got to say no complaints at all. It was self check in but I received a message explaining everything before my visit and everything was easy to understand and was exactly as the message had explained. We had the room with the hot tub and it was a lovely room. Very clean and good facilities. A lovely touch was a small fridge in the room with a bottle of prosecco chilling in there for us. Breakfast was included with the room and again it was absolutely spot on. The lady owner was there at Breakfast and she was a lovely bubbly and friendly lady.
My biggest regret

So easy to check in, clean rooms, I am not sure I've stayed in cleaner, so much has gone into making people feel comfortable and not need things plenty of tea and coffee in the rooms. Breakfast was amazing and plentiful. I was staying for work and hope I need to stay in this area again, just to stay here.

This is a delightful place. Family run hotel, looks like nothing from the outside but inside it is lovely. Bedroom was comfortable and clean. Food was delicious. Can't wait to return. Perfect for the whole family.
