This was booked for my parents wedding anniversary. They thoroughly enjoyed it. They don’t usually sleep well in their 70s and set in their ways with ailments etc but they said their room was wonderful and thoroughly enjoys their stay.

Pros:

This is now the 3rd stay hers, over a a few years - can see the changes, not all for the best - 30 minute breakfast sitting - last day was nade to feel an inconvenience, as we arrived 3 minutes prior to our 9am slot. Gave our room number, was looked at to told we was early - there were 6 empty tables for 2's. She pointed us to a table for 6 - 3 other 2's followed us, to be greeted morning, taken to ta table for 2. Within our 30 minute sitting4 remaining 2 tables stayed empty - unsure what seat plan you use - but a simple swap of room numbers to empty sittings should be an easy task -
Not running water in the bathroom between 8 - 8:30am tried using the room phone gave engaged tone continual, we stayed in the anex.
Friday night had a table reserved for 7, had to ask for an extra chair, as only seated for 6, asjed the lady who walked past us, to be told, its not her job, to find chairs.......as we was meeting family, wd was seated, orderd food & drink, enjoying our catch up for a waitress to come over, to tell us the table was reserved & who seated us.
Childs mac & chesse needed to go back, far too salty & garlic tasting, too strong for a childs meal - was replaced eith a bowl of chips -
Disappointed on this returned visit

A pleasant country break
Pros:

Limited breakfast offering especially regarding drinks. Evening food good and specials available.
Room was very spacious if a little dated. Nice separate lounge area and large corner whirlpool bath.

Pros:

Breakfast was either a greasy fry up or toast and cereal. Was hoping for pastries or something as I can't have milk or greasy food. Dietary requirements weren't first on the list if you're vegetarian. Tho decaf tea was available. Most staff were lovely. Bed was ok. Housekeeping were great. Wouldn't particularly stay here again.

Nice hotel & staff but some tired bits and pieces.
Pros:

Lovely comfy bed - good food and good service - the shower unit leaked like a sieve and within minutes the bathroom floor was flooded - used all my towels to soak up the mess and was supplied more to use for myself. (Room 6)

Pros:

The restaurant was clearly a popular place for guests and locals. Food, drinks and services were great. The decor is from the 1990’s and possibly the mattress in our room. Overall, acceptable considering that rate we paid.

Stay
Pros:

Unfortunately this stay did not match the last 3 visits both Saturday night and Sunday morning we had no water for 20 mins apparently due to guests showering at the same time, also breakfast although time slot booked was pretty shambolic, hot drinks arrived after 30 mins and food was sparse, certainly not up to previous visits all, very disappointing
