Pros:

Excellent customer service. Very friendly staff. Although no restaurant, the manager/owner arranged for his son to got out and pick up food locally for 8 of us. It was stated the bar closed at 9 but they kept it open for us up to midnight while putting up with a group of slightly raucous bikers. Fantastic breakfast .Highly recommended.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

The hotel overall is nice and cosy but in need of a bit of refurbishment.
The room was quite good, very clean bedding and working TV. There is a kettle with mugs and teas.

Cons:

The water pressure in the bathroom wasn't strong enough, and there is still some room for improvement regarding the overall cleanliness of the room. We also experienced some issues on the first ni
ght with noise from people talking until the early hours. While the breakfast is generous in size, it would be better if the quality of the ingredients were improved.

A hotel that offers value for money.
Pros:

A beautiful building on the outside with plenty of parking and a quiet location.

Cons:

Dated inside. We could hear our neighbour in the next bathroom. Shower flow poor.
Had to look for staff in reception on arrival and leaving.
We have stayed in many hotels in the area due to visiting elderly parents and this one was the best value for money.

Couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay And the staff were just lovely Would certainly go back
Pros:

Breakfast was great and varied The building is absolutely beautiful Very historic
The room was newly refurbished and had an additional electric heater as the weather had turned cold
so that was blessing
All in all a very pleasant stay and although it was for my husband to have a heart procedure at the hospital
it was all made much less stressful having this hotel to go back to Many thanks

Cons:

Nothing other than perhaps if they did lunch and dinner But there are plenty of places nearby so no problem

Had we had a warm weekend with heating on it would have been a 9.1
Pros:

Beautiful setting best in the area . Stay in this area weekly

Cons:

Room freezing. 🥶. On arrival no heating turned on. Oil filled heater in the room
Went to reception and got the heating turned on and another portable heater ( that didn’t) work. When heating had kicked in it was better but cold 🥶 room . Pool out of use too

Valentines disaster
Pros:

The grounds the hotel were in were lovely, very scenic, breakfast was good and the rooms was ok, staff were attentive too.

Cons:

When we arrived to check in we noticed the hotel was is being used as a HMO/boarding for imigrants who were using the conference room to get together, cook their own meals, and wander around the hotel in their PJ's. Yet we book a night away for Valentines and are charged full whack for your stay when the hotel in not being used for it's purpose. We left feeling very disappointed as if we had know this we'd have obviously looked at booking somewhere different. Maybe we shouldn't have stayed and requested our money back but after travelling all day what are you expected to when your tired and just want to rest.
