Fantastic Hotel
Pros:

I stay at this hotel regularly with work and have always found the reception staff and the room to be of a high standard. The evening meal is always of a high standard and the breakfast the following morning is second to none. I must admit the poor reviews on here are not justified as the food and staff are fantastic. I hold no loyalty to the hotel but as a regular customer I say what I see and think most bad reviews are from people who would complain anyway. Keep up the great work as this is a wonderful hotel to stay at.

Outstanding place.
Pros:

Perfect location. Room was immaculate and as we had number 43. A lovely view over the grassland with sheep. Everything was spotless and the bed was huge and very comfy. We stayed b and b . Breakfast was the best we have ever had in any hotel . As it was last time we visited. Our 3rd visit now and each time has been amazing. We now call it our getaway place ! Far from the madding crowd but close enough to enjoy days out. All the staff were amazing and big thanks to Vicki for her help at breakfast with extra bacon for me. The fried bread was just like my mum made ❤️. Will definitely recommend to anyone.
Nothing was too much trouble for them.

Disappointed.
Pros:

Lovely grounds, staff great.

Cons:

Only way to get ventilation at night was to open windows at ground level, allowing access from outside which felt unsafe. Power Shower temperature fluctuated wildly. Breakfast was mid level. Could be so much more with the right attention to details.
