Nice and quiet and stress free.
Pros:

Always book a bungalow here. They are perfect for our needs and each one has a dedicated parking spot right outside. This is the most important thing for me. If I can't see my car, I will not be able to settle.
Rooms are spacious and have doors that open onto a patio, with nice country views.

Staff here are great.

Cons:

Only downside is that food is not available later on in the day.
Would be nice if evening meals were available.
Food is nice though.

Pros:

Great looking hotel

Cons:

There was a mix up with our room apparently and i got called by the hotel from a mobile number where they asked for my room number! I called the hotel after to check whats going on and that my call was genuine. They apologised and said there has been some mix up but all is ok. I still dont know what really happened.

Pros:

My mother and shared bungalw adapted for disabled . Beautiful room clean bathroom to catered with wet floor shower . We had a wonderful little private patio where we could sit and admire the beautiful grounds. It was fantastic. Beds comfortable large screen tv on wall. Absolutly nothing to complain about . The staff were lovely helpful and nothing was any trouble. We saw tribute show which included meal celebrating my 60th birthday with my big family. The 2 course meal was beautiful well worth £30 a head for and i recommend if you go on one of these events that are regularly held there you wont come away dissapointed. We will be back soon . Family already looking at future tribute evenings to go to. Thankyou to all staff and performers on the evening for a stunning successful evening where everyone there joined in .

A beautiful magical experience for our wedding
Pros:

Beautiful homely well designed hotel.
The grounds are spectacular.
We booked the Kings Croft as a small intimate wedding venue and stay over and it did not disappoint. The staff were incredibly attentive and helpful and could not have done more to make us feel relaxed and welcome. A big thank you to Kieran, Darrell, Kiera, Jessica & Charlotte and all the others who made our day so special.
The room was spotless and comfortable and the buffet breakfast amazing.

Cons:

Nothing

Reliable , friendly and great food. I'll be back.
Pros:

Delicious dinner. fantastic breakfast. wonderful staff ( they deserve a raise !! )

The beer selection is good BUT I would like to see at least one hand pulled beer. A place like this would do well to honour British Beer with a real ale and a pint of bitter.

Cons:

room faced a corridor with no outside view. Out of 5 visits I didn't know they had rooms like this. I'll know better to specify next time.
