Easy access and an overall great place to stay
Pros:

Breakfast in the old church was very good and set me up for a long day. Loved the porridge with a whiskey drizzle

Some more fresh fruit for breakfast would have made it perfect

Good one night stopover and close to a fantastic restored hillfort which we visited next day.
Pros:

Breakfast a bit mixed porridge brilliant but orange juice undrinkable not sure what it was. Food in evening was good and staff in bar and on reception brilliant. There was a large wedding reception when we arrived and although lots of people it wasn't a problem the hotel absorbed it really well. Lovely nights sleep. It us next to a very busy road so not a place you would walk from.

Cons:

Breakfast was a bit limited but was cooked to order.

Lidt skuffende ophold på et ellers fint hotel.
Pros:

Dejligt hotel - men beliggenheden er ikke i nærheden af en by, hvorfor mulighederne for at vælge en anden restaurant er begrænset. Dejlig stort værelse, som dog var lidt mørkt. Vi kunne konstatere, at der er tale om et bryllups hotel, hvorfor der er meget stille i hverdagen og meget travlt i weekenden. Udmærket restaurant og bar på stedet, og fin morgenmad.

Cons:

Værelset var lidt mørkt. Beliggenheden for hotellet lige ud til en meget trafikeret vej. Qua det at hotellet er specialiseret i bryllupper, var der meget stille i hverdagen og meget travlt i weekenden. Der var temmelig meget støj fra etagen oven over værelset og uden for værelse den ene aften i forbindelse med afholdelse af en quiz aften i hotellet restaurant og bar - og dette helt til omkring midnat.
