A lovely hotel, the room was clean, comfortable and the shower outstanding. Easy parking and Dotty.
Pros:

Breakfast was very good and the restaurant very pleasant.

Cons:

The chicken burger I had for dinner was, sadly, dry and very chewy.

Pros:

We had a really lovely and friendly waitress called Amelia at The Smithy. The vegan fish and chips were a must try! Thank you 😊
The animals were so friendly and came right up to you for a fuss, I can’t believe we got to stroke a deer.

Cons:

Nothing - we managed to stay with it being £140 for the night so great value for money

Restful and peaceful
Pros:

Unique rooms and the restaurant had a very calming atmosphere

Cons:

Nothing really. Vegan breakfast was requested and although my daughter asked for items not to be included, she wasn’t offered more of something else which made it a very meagre meal
