Room was a good size and was clean. Hotel did feel cold in wooden corridors and bathroom.
Rooms are dated which is ok, but the heating stuck on full is not ok. Broken TVs, no security on the patio doors, very noisy, slamming fire doors, lack of staff in the evenings
The staff were all very friendly and helpful but the airfreshener everywhere was a bit much. Also the shower was barely a dribble which was ver disappointing
Very friendly and welcoming hotel - food and service good - would recommend. Lovely setting

Built in 1989, and not touched since. The mattress springs poked me in the side, the furniture would be rejected by charity shops, the cold single glazing and red hot radiator were a classic 80’s touch, and the rusty 30+ year old fridge was warmer than the fbreakfast.
The hotel is a little tired and could do with a bit of tlc in some areas. But overall it’s a great hotel in fantastic surroundings. It’s peaceful clean and comfortable. Will definitely book here again if we are needing to stay in this area.
Staff friendly nice location and room fine.
One gripe is that the breakfast is a rip off at price charged not a great standard. Need to get a new supplier for the sausages (terrible ).
We also had the festive afternoon tea which was below satisfactory.
We enjoyed our stay very much, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were amazing.

Lovely location with the woods around and a quirky unique place with nice bedroom but needs a little upgrade and a bit of gardening around the area outside. Very clean inside and staff were friendly and helpful.
