Lovely Location and Staff
Pros:

The staff were friendly and helpful and the location was perfect - in a lovely village and close to Walesby Forest.

Cons:

The bar was closed every night by 9pm due to lack of staff. The fan in the room was not nearly strong enough to cope with the heat. More vegan options at breakfast would have been nice.

On arrival we were told that food would only be served up until 6.30pm as they had a wedding party booked who actually kept us awake till well gone midnight with the noise..If we had known this beforehand then we would have booked an alternative place.

Check in early to avoid disappointment
Pros:

In the area for a big wedding. We were upgraded as the room type we selected had not been prepared for us when we checked in during afternoon. The new room was much larger and had a lovely bathroom.
Staff friendly and helpful

Cons:

Room needed a bit of TLC - peeling wallpaper and paintwork etc. Was quite warm but only had tiny windows so glad it wasnt the heatwave week! The second room (twin for the kids) was fine except the bathroom door didn't close so neither could be convinced to have a shower due to lack of privacy.
My parents also booked a room and went to check in at 8.30pm but there was no-one around and it was all locked up and in darkness. (Check-in info stated 2pm - 10pm) They couldnt contact anyone (the number was on door apparently but it was all in darkness and torrential rain so my parents missed this) as a result they were unable to check-in and had to drive home after the wedding.
Post ode on booking.com took us to wrong place so beware. Look it up on google maps instead.
