Wonderful place to stay with good VFM
Pros:

Value for money was exceptional. Lovely quiet area, and very comfortable room. The food was very good quality. The carvery was amazing as was the breakfast the following morning. There was a nice relaxed feel about the whole place.

Cons:

Only small mention is the bathroom was a little tired and could do with a freshen up. Plus, the water pressure of the shower was extreme and difficult to manage adequately. Having said that, my back received a very good massage. But, this is just an observation.

Ideal location for the trip.

It met all requirements. It would have been good if drinking water had been provided in addition to tea/ coffee.

Enjoyed our three night stay, and made a note to return as a lovely area for casuall walking.
Pros:

Clean and comfortable, very nice evening meal and good breakfasts, if anything to much choice!easy access to come and go as we pleased.

Cons:

One niggle bathroom ceiling had mould which let the room down
Shame there didn’t seem to be any walks from the property to avoid using the car, but good walk fairly close by.

Pros:

Breakfast, room, price. The room was large. Spacious, the bathroom was excellent.

Very enjoyable and comfortable stay
Pros:

All excellent

Cons:

This seems a strange thing to complain about, but on my second evening the main course at dinner was far more than I could eat! It was called an "open beef sandwich" and I thought "sandwich" implied a light meal. I had to leave about 3/4 of it, which I was sorry about as it was excellent. Maybe the menu should clarify what's meant by "sandwich".
