The service was amazing, the food at the pub was great (especially the lemon meringue cheesecake!), the only thing that really let this place down was the rock hard bed. I have osteoarthritis in my hip and he’s beds equals chronic pain and zero sleep for me. Such a shame as everything about the stay was perfect!

Would use again, but...

Delighted with the hotel and the restaurant. This time my wife and I did not have our usual companion, our Border Terrier with us as we had been attending a wedding. We would love to use the hotel again, but. as there is a no pets policy, then this unlikely to happen. The refurbished bathroom with walk in shower was excellent with one little fault - the rain shower head really needs to extend further into the shower cubicle!

Annual family Panto visit

Throughly enjoyed our stay, excellent value and very friendly. I was to offer some critique it would be the cooked breakfast which was big and varied lacked a little quality. No hesitation to stay again or recommend

Hotel was fine for a 2 night stay. Comfortable bed and big shower cubicle. If I’m being ultra critical, the furniture was a bit tired but perfectly adequate. The staff were all friendly and efficient. Breakfast was well cooked and tasty.

Perfect little hotel

The hotel rooms are a good size, very clean and plenty of tea and coffee for your little kettle, extra pillows in the wardrobe and the shower was amazing! The bar area is also great although we spent most of our time in the little beer garden because of the heat! Breakfast was also great choice of several 'main' breakfasts (full english, eggs on toast or porridge) then a basic continental breakfast table with fruit, fruit juices, cereal, yoghurts and as much toast as you fancy :) Overall a lovely few nights away and one we will repeat if we find ourselves up that way again!

There were no cocktails to be had At All ! The pillows need changing as they are like bricks and the Showers need a shower mat as it becomes very, very slippery. This is a shame, because everything else was Great.
