Lovely big room. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Pros:

Location was good. Lovely garden area and hotel was comfortable.

Cons:

Had problems with hot water system. Reported to reception and was told to run both sink and bath taps fully for a while to get hot water through. This did work so no real problem, but what a waste of water.

Pros:

Parking, the room was clean and comfortable. The shower was excellent. Location is good, just a few minutes from the A6 and A46.

Cons:

The evening meal was very average and expensive for what it was. This hasn't changed since my last visit, shame really, as the hotel and staff are great.

Relaxed and friendly but a bit run down
Pros:

Staff were very friendly. Bar was very good and it opened onto a nice terrace. Superior room in main building was quiet and fairly cool

Cons:

The whole place felt a bit tired especially the carpets and it would need a big cash injection to realise its full potential. Bar food and beer selection was quite good but breakfast was a bit bland especially the sausages
