Lovely stay
Pros:

Stayed here for a wedding in April at Bartle Hall. Was an ideal location as close to the venue and plenty of parking. The room was clean and comfortable. Great breakfast at the hungry horse too!

Good value if you don’t mind the outdated furnishings.
Pros:

It is very dated but very reasonably priced. We were visiting family so didn’t dine in the pub next door but the staff we met were lovely and the room was clean.

Cons:

Just a little dated but the price was right so this didn’t bother us.

A good comfortable hotel that is well located for the area.
Pros:

A good selection is available that is well prepared and served by very friendly staff. Good value for money. Caters for most dietary needs.

Cons:

Some areas are looking dated, though that adds to its charm. No covered walkway between accommodation and the eating areas, though it might be that it has always rained when I visit.
