Nice little gem!
Pros:

The manager (Indian guy) was very welcoming and hospitable. He took care of us and was very friendly throughout our whole 4 night stay.

The location is quite remote and you'll pretty much need transport to get anywhere but the peace and quietness of the location made our holiday very different to most hotel chains (in a positive way).

The room itself were okay size, not too big and not too small.

Cons:

The restaurant/bar was open during our stay but unfortunately, they weren't fully opened and they weren't serving their usual menu. I was gutted that couldn't try their curry!

The staff were great, and we couldn’t do enough for me however it’s not for me bit too remote needs a lot of renovation.
Pros:

To be fair, I I didn’t see this property in the daylight as I was working. The hotel is under a lot of refurbishment. The rooms are very tired however the bedding towels are clean and the staff were very accommodating.

Cons:

The Parking was really really Ltd and being single female on my own. I had to park a considerable distance away which is not comfortable when it’s pitch black there’s minimum lighting and you’re trying to navigate your way to a hotel that you’ve not used before.

Not at all enjoyable!
Pros:

Comfy bed (although rather a small double!)

Cons:

Not at all as advertised. I booked a “suite” and it was a basic double room. No garden view. Was not the room in the advertised pictures on booking.com!Very tatty, cold bathroom with no toiletries and damaged bath, no parking, poor wifi, noise from bar, no choice of breakfast and only served 8am-9am, light switch in awkward place. Very disappointed as falsely advertised.

Didn’t stay following arrival
Pros:

Man on reception very pleasant - offered to find some slippers

Cons:

Didn’t stay at property despite paying up front.
Property not advertised or correctly represented on Booking . Com. It once was a country inn but now is an Indian restaurant with rooms. Rooms poor standard of finish - not deluxe superior or luxury by any stretch of the imagination. No bathrobes or slippers as stated - toiletries amounted to left over bit of shower gel and shampoo in larger container. No onsite parking, place deserted, black mould corner of bath / shower, loud Indian music playing, despite advertised with restaurant - only food on offer chicken burger and chips. Had to order breakfast from laminated sheet at reception even stating whether we wanted water. Not for us!
