All the staff were lovely. The food was poor and the expectation of management to have only one member of staff to welcome, take orders, make the drinks, waiter and make the food for In excess of 15 covers arriving at breakfast within a space period of 10 minutes (which is the experience we witnessed). Very awkward and unpleasant and in fulfilling to see the croissants and bread emptying out and needing more coffee but would have been too unkind to ask for anything else we would need knowing the whole operation of the restaurant was being manned by 1 person. Felt very bad for him however annoying too that we were in a position to look after the restaurant rather than the restaurant look after us.
I arrived around 30 minutes before the end of breakfast, however the hotel had already run out of bacon and only brown bread was available, which was disappointing. The grounds could also do with some tidying.
On a positive note, the room itself was lovely and the bed was very comfortable. Unfortunately, the view from the window overlooked what appeared to be a dumping area with broken fencing and a dilapidated caravan, which detracted from an otherwise pleasant stay.
With some attention to breakfast availability and the external areas, this could be a really good hotel.
Incredible, my friend stayed here for nearly 3 weeks whilst recovering from surgery, they were absolutely brilliant from the moment she got there until she left. Fabulous hotel, fabulous staff. The whole experience was amazing, thank you ♥️
Ran out of toilet tissue by 10pm and the phone numbers on the hotel website were diverted to a full inbox.
However, we have stayed here many times and will return again.
The hotel and restaurant is very clean and all of the staff are friendly and helpful.
The rooms were nice and comfortable, just slightly darker than I would have preferred. The staff were excellent—very friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help.
The restaurant was a real highlight. The food was amazing, and the waiting staff were brilliant. Service was quick, attentive, and genuinely friendly.
