"Hotel was located within a service station so plenty of amenities available. We ate in the restaurant on our first night which was nice and not too pricey. Rooms were clean but a little dated. Housing around sink was coming away but overall what we needed for our stay as we were out on both days and we got a great price for our two night stay. £10 to park was an extra cost we could of done without."

"BEAUTIFUL grounds and main hotel areas, super helpful and welcoming staff. The room itself had basic amenities, and smelt like it was an ex- smokers room. May just be that the soft furnishings needed replacing. The room was dated and needed an upgrade. It would have been good to have a safe in the room too. Everything else about the hotel was wonderful and it was a shame it was only a fleeting visit. Slightly overpriced considering the room itself."
