Quite comfortable hotel in a secluded spot 5 mins off the M1
Pros:

Excellent breakfast, staff were very friendly and helpful. Quiet, comfortable and spacious room.

Cons:

At 11 am check out time was earlier than expected and of most hotels I stay at. Restaurant at the pub was understaffed and as a result service was a bit slow.

Room ok, lack of food disappointing.
Pros:

Close to where I needed to be the following day.

Cons:

We were a group of golfers that intended eating at the location. When we arrived we were told the restaurant had closed due to staff training.
The large bar/ dining area had just 3 people drinking at the bar and lacked atmosphere.
We had to go out to find some food which after a 2 hour drive then a game of golf was the last thing I needed.
