Room was spacious but dated. Floors uneven bathroom dated and in need of updating. Toilet seat damaged. TV aerial taped and TV could not get a channel. Room felt dusty. Windows could not be opened properly. Bathroom window was clear glass and had a roller blind. Could not open this as people could see in from outside. Hotel floors uneven. Decor outdated. Fixtures and fittings eg doors windows etc needed replacing. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Exterior of hotel looked nice and gardens well kept. Not worth the cost of our stay given the disrepair of the room. Cheap throws and cushions used for decor.

Lovely looking hotel from outside but rooms and decor inside is a bit tatty. Good sized room, clean but could do with a facelift. Plenty of parking available. Short walk into Main Street but be aware of all uphill on the back to hotel. Didn’t have breakfast or food so can’t comment on that.

Do not stay here, i made this booking as a gift for my mum and her card was charged without authorisation upon leaving. I have continually tried to reach the hotel where the reception is never answered and the booking line say they can not help. I will be persuing this charge with the Fraud tream at my bank. Absolutely terrible to charge a pensioner with no authority.

Beautiful hotel

Really nice room, but could benefit from updating and some plug sockets didn't work. Other than that, the bed was comfortable, the room was spacious, food was good, and the facilities and location were great. No issues!

Would recommend this place. The village itself is an amazing place. The hotel staff were all friendly and helpful. The bar and restaurant were good and well priced. The room was comfortable and clean but the bed could have been better. Given the age of the building I thought it was very well maintained. The breakfast was fantastic and gets you through the entire day. The meals in the restaurant for dinner were good also.
