Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Always liked this place but at my latest booking, breakfast was an additional option at a whopping £20.00. The evening meal that I had was only £18.50 so very disappointed that "captive" residents seem to be being targeted with high prices. Greggs was only 2 miles away so a bacon and sausage bagette and coffee for less than fiver sufficed. Ill be looking elsewhere now

Verified traveller

Disliked: Cleanliness

Must try harder

When informed of my experience the staff moved me to a garden room, which whilst detached, still had average cleanliness - sit in the bath and view the dust and broken tiles, lipstick on walls near plug sockets. My original room (30) had broken thermostatic valves on the radiator, so fixed in the hot position, so wi dows open was a must. Cigarette ash and burns noticed on window cill, and the icing on the cake - a 'gift' in the toilet. Breakfast; microwaved scrambled eggs on 1 slice of toast day 1. Day 2 - i heard guests commenting how cold the bacon, sausage and mushrooms were, even the fired egg, so did without. Get the basics right and the rest sorts itself out.

Lodge room

I stayed in one of the lodges adjacent to the car park. It was a good size. The windows were open when I arrived so it was very cold but it took very little time to warm up with the radiator. A few things were disappointing. Firstly, the light switch was broken and has exposed wires which didn’t feel terribly safe. The remote control was covered with a sticky residue, which was thick and red. It may have been from someone spilling a drink on it. The TV did not have normal channels, such as ITV or Channel 4. It did have BBC2. The room was advertised as having wifi, which was important for me since I was working. However, there was no wifi in the room at all, and no network could be found on any of my devices. Thankfully the 4G signal was good enough to tether. The staff were lovely and both the evening meal and breakfast were very nice and reasonably priced.

nice garden set up for weddings. The room was terrible see pictures, walls in poor state, no bedside tables, one useable socket, television high and on wrong wall only watch if lying on side in bed, shower dirty, paintwork peeling, toilet seat loose. Room incredibly hot (there before heatwave started) reported to reception and they refused to do anything about it. So bad we checked out early to find a decent hotel despite have prepaid for longer. The breakfasts in restaurant were poor quality. would not recommend staying in this hotel.

It was a really nice stay. The cabin we stayed in was quiet and very spacious. The only issue was breakfast was a bit chaotic, the toaster packed up and the coffee machine did not work. That said, the staff did everything to accommodate us. Overall, a really great stay and would certainly stay again when in the area.
