Pros:

Cons:

Breakfast was busy and the conservatory could have been opened to give ore space.

Recommend this hotel
Pros:

Peace and quiet spotless and staff so helpful

Cons:

Thought that 8.30 for last dinner a bit early. Also bar closed at 11pm and unable to order cocktails. I know it’s a small point but we stay at other hotels with ability to have a bar service until midnight.

Lovely accommodation, very relaxing.
Pros:

Lovely setting, cosy room, lovely comfortable bed and friendly staff. Good parking and facilities.

Cons:

The drive to the property is very uneven, there are some very large pot holes that have formed massive gullies which could be potentially lethal to tyres. Would be nice to see those repaired to match the feel of the surroundings.
