Felt £95 for Xmas lunch was a bit steep although I appreciate that staff were working on Xmas day. Wonderful lication s
Pros:

Lovely village location with easy access to city centre via bus/taxi. No parking fees. Solo Xmas stay so a bit lonely.

Cons:

Food was not bad but fairly basic and presentation was more cook than chef. Room had very little storage/hanging space

It was a comfortable stay
Pros:

The staff were friendly . Clean & comfortable . We needed to change our room, which was not a problem to do.

Cons:

We were booked into Elm House which had a strong smell of bleach and chlorine. Our room was just the same and we asked to change rooms. The level of bleach was unhealthy and needs to be addressed .

Great place!
Pros:

We love this hotel! Location is great! Lovely place. The restaurant offers great food! Staff are friendly. The room is clean. It's generally quiet except when people are chatting outside.

Cons:

Our room is not soundproof. We can hear convos from the outside. But it was alright. We still had a great experience. The double bed is small for 2 people.
