Great location for walking
Pros:

Lovely location great walking. Leisure facilities very good. Food was generally good especially evening meals.

Cons:

Bed wasn't great mattress much too soft. Room not cleaned unless you ask for it? Not what I would expect in a hotel and checkout at 10 is a bit early by hotel standards. Breakfast was a bit variable some food looked reheated rather than freshly made.

A beautiful place to stay .
Pros:

The breakfast is beautiful , the staff are so lovely and the pool is so clean . There are even deers to watch in the early evenings , it’s a beautiful place to be with a great pub and atmosphere.

Cons:

One small thing could be the pillows are little soft/used but that’s not a complaint ! More of a suggestion.

Pros:

Quiet and relaxing location, lovely leisure facility on site. Friendly staff. Small property so never felt busy. Great breakfast and evening meal also good.

Cons:

Ground floor with patio doors so felt slightly overlooked and you can’t leave a door open for fresh air overnight.

Nice place
Pros:

Lovely room, nice and quiet. Staff were good. We had to leave a day early due to some bad news about a friend. They said they would try and get us a refund for the final night… not heard anything yet so we presume this was not possible?

Nice bar and drinks.

Cons:

A bit pricey to be honest.

Great stay in a great location with fab spa
Pros:

This hotel is in a great location, has excellent staff, decent rooms and the spa facilities are a huge bonus. It is on the grounds of a small caravan/holiday lodge park but that doesn't detract from its charm. Would definitely go back.
