good place to stay
Pros:

It's nice friendly hotel with a pleasant garden and a mill pound. The food was excellent. Interesting dishes, nicely prepared moderate portions. Check their menu. The bedrooms are quite big which is nice. We had room 1 which is on the ground door, (sort of in the car park) It was ok but perhaps better to ask for one of the other rooms.
We enjoyed our stay and will go back.

Cons:

It is a wedding venue which can mean that ordinary guests are rather overlooked. There was no wedding when we stayed but it might be worth checking before finalising your booking. The EV charger work after a few tries!

Not the relaxing sleep we had hoped for
Pros:

Breakfast was good and was ideal for where we needed to be for the day

Cons:

Alarm going off at 2.30 and a little disappointed that there was no mention of it, no apology made for a broken nights sleep, I know alarms can’t always be helped but apparently a moth triggered it going off
