Pros:

We only stayed for one night as we were on route to Cornwall, the staff were very friendly, lovely and welcoming. We had the Sunday roast and the Gammon was amazing we had to speak to the chef to let him know! The hotel is situated in beautiful calming surroundings and wish we had more time here! The room was spotless and looked like the bathroom had been refurbished and had everything we needed. Breakfast also was plentiful and more than enough choices and good quality. Would definitely stay here again if we are in the area. Big thank you to everyone

Pros:

Staff were lovely. Hotel really needs modernising and updating. The carpets were disgusting in the corridors. Upholstery needs cleaning. Shame as the location and the building itself is very good. Could be wonderful. Drive needs replacing.

The private road from the road to the hotel is in very poor condition, even in 1st gear I worried that my suspension would be damaged!!!!!!

Pros:

The property was in a lovely quiet location with a wonderful view but this meant you had quite a distance of single track narrow roads to get to it. It was very warm when we stayed and unfortunately the menu in the restaurant was limited to quite heavy more wintery food and after we got served our food we didn’t see any staff so had we wanted a dessert or more drinks it would have been a problem.

Pros:

Pleasant staff and surroundings. Buildings a little dated, but reasonably well maintained. Very good breakfast selection. Evening meals were a little limited and Steak was a bit overpriced for the quality.

Pros:

This property was a proper little hideaway! The road in to it was a bit scary but well worth the trip! The property definitely had an air of bygone refinement to it. We had a very peaceful stay. The staff were very friendly and appeared gnuinely pleased to care for us.. It is a wonderful venue for business conferences, weddings etc.

Pros:

The hotel staff were all helpful and attentive. The room was clean and fresh. The gardens were well kept and enjoyable. The building is old and in parts looking a little tired. Food in the restaurant was good. I would recommend the hotel for its excellent customer service and spotless accommodation.

Need air con
Pros:

Venue was lovely although very remote.
Room was adequate but made uncomfortable by the radiator being on with no facility to turn off.
Barely slept even with windows open and fan on.
