My plans changed and I got to experience the Indian Cuisine. I can say it was the best curry I’d had in ages.
I found the room perfectly adequate (once I’d located the light switch for the bathroom!) the door to the car park was novel and useful.
Thank you for a comfortable stay and the excellent food!
Basic hotel. Clean and comfy but tired looking and tiny rooms. I had a double room for one person - glad I didn’t have to share!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Never seen a hotel bar close at 11 before - is this even legal - I thought guests could stay much later - everything comes with an after service bill - such as basic continental breakfast
Had a really good stay. The hotel was good value for money and everything was as expected. A few parts of the hotel look a bit tired, but nothing that bothered us at all. The surrounding countryside is beautiful with some great views. Overall, well worth the money and I'd happily stay again. Highly recommended
Property location is good and staff worked hard to please guests.
Condition and cleanliness of the property isn't great, and proximity to the road was an issue in my room - every time a HGV hit a pothole outside the floor of the room shook.
Overall, a good value for money stay. Slept very well in a very comfortable bed, duvet and room at the right temperature. Overall room was very clean although the carpet was rather grubby. What really let the stay down was a very small sink which is not really fit for purpose in a hotel room - only suitable for washing hands, completely impractical for washing the face etc.
This was not the Hotel I booked. The ownership had recently changed and the restaurant was now Indian and the bar alcohol free. Breakfast was a sham at £12 for the cheapest possible fare and very limited choice.
