    Room was too small to move about in my wheelchair. Very poor lighting in bedroom, nowhere to apply makeup properly.

    Good shower facilities for wheelchair users. Very friendly and efficient staff. Very good parking facilities.

    The room can get stuffy because there’s no AC, and it was only 20degrees outside. We didn’t want to open the window while sleeping because of the roadway noice. Sometimes you can feel the room shake when a truck drive by. Didn’t bother us that much though.

    We stayed here for 1 night and it was a perfect stay for the 3 of us! They placed a cot for our 1 year old daughter without charge. We also had dinner here, the view in the restaurant is amazing. Romp steak was on chewier side but the chicken roast was very scrumptious! The room was clean and it has real cottage vibe which we loved. Breakfast was also very decent with very friendly staff.

    This was a very expensive option - but as there is limited choice then we appreciate the market is theirs. But the price did not match the quality, service or location. Especially when a Sunday booking demonstrates the true value compared to a Saturday booking…. Lovely views out back, busy and loud A road at front. The rooms are triple glazed. Rooms are well equipped and reasonably comfortable, with large beds. Breakfast was lacking. Reasonable quality food but portions on the small side. For 1 night you’ll be fine.

    Stunning views at back, large beds.

    The decor in our No 8 room has become after much use tired. But we were told in October there’s to be going to be a reverb. Which goes to show how well the management are working looking the property and business.

    Its location with the fantastic views. Even thought the main road is busy and noise at times the atmosphere and scenic views blend into the background. The buildings are looked after along with the lovely hanging baskets making it feel home from home.

    The evening meal choices. It seemed to differ quite a lot from the menu in the book in the folm

    Breakfast was good, quite a lot of choice and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Room was small but absolutely fine with everything needed available. Lovely to have places to hang clothes etc in the bathroom.

    The only thing letting the stay down was how thin the room walls are, you could literally hear everything from the other rooms and cars on the main road. Crying babies and baby making attempts felt like they were sharing our room. Shame as if not for this then could not fault the stay, but not being able to sleep is a big negative.

    Staff were incredible, views epic and food very good.

    Menu at dinner was slightly limited for me as a vegetarian, but the food was delicious. In the room, we could hear the TV faintly next door and the dog barking in the morning. I personally found the bed a bit too hard/firm for my liking.

    Breakfast was fabulous! The manager was super friendly and helpful.

    The lighting in the room and bathroom very poor. In the evening, when you are getting ready, there was only the main light and wall lights which were all very dim. Nice for atmosphere but no good for getting ready. (Practically dark!). I had to use my phone torch! Just needs a bright light on the dressing table or change the bulbs to dimmable so you have a choice of how light the room is. Also our room was next to the main boiler room so it was a little noisy but didn’t spoil our stay.

    We had a garden room which had lovely views across the fields. It was a lovely room with a big, comfortable bed. Pub was lovely, good food and staff very friendly.
