Overnight stay

The room was very warm even though the fan was on. The vegetarian dish halloumi salad had lots of olives which wasn’t mentioned on menu. All the staff were very efficient Breakfast a bit pricey.

Comfortable stay

Lovely, clean room. It is on the small side but enough for solo traveller. Nice hotel. Spacious lobby. Good signposting to rooms. Free coffee on arrival. Only issue - no hot water. Rang to sort it out but went to voicemail so had cold shower.

Staying in the area for a wedding. Bed was comfortable, room is clean, staff are very friendly and helpful. Checked in late but was not an issue. Bar and restaurant hours were limited so we weren’t unable to use.

Lovely place

Beautiful place with very welcoming staff. Rooms even come with iron and ironing board
Donna, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Coffee machines in the corridors are a winner much easier than messing with a kettle on the room. Hotel is spotless, standard room was a little small for two people. Will be back!
Stuart, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Comfortable rooms, but they’ve taken away the kettles so you have to walk down the hallway for a cup of tea from a machine. It’s a nice machine put sometimes you don’t want to leave your room and stand in the queue for a cup of tea
Paul, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean quiet rooms but they’ve taken tea and coffee making facilities out of the room so you have to walk down the corridor and use a machine. Not impressed with that. Otherwise food is good and free use of the excellent gym is always nice

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent Value for Money

The room was spotless, very roomy and well set out, modern and airy, the bed was super comfy. The location is set away from any main roads and has a countryside feel, so no noise on a night to upset your sleep. Also you have free access to a well equipped gym and various eateries on site.
