Went for a friends wedding, the venue was perfect location for a wedding. The rooms need a upgrade had a Butlins like chalet feel. Hottest day of the year and couldn't open the windows very well, because the bush outside was too over grown.

Popped in for a bite to eat on the way home from visiting friends, as it was about 4pm we were not sure if we would get anything. When we went in there was a wedding going on which looked great. We had no trouble getting food even though they were busy. The food and service was excellent. So glad we stopped there.

We went for Afternoon Tea today as a treat. Was not what I expected, as I have been there before for Afternoon Tea and it was amazing. But this time I was disappointed. Sandwiches were dry, Scones were hard and dry and did not resemble a scone at all, more like a rock cake, 2 Scones each per person was to much, the selection of cakes on the top tier were okay, but most of of the centres had melted, and the carrot cake was dry.

The coffee should have come in a cafetiere, so we didn't have to keep asking the waitress for coffee, and water should have been provided on the table. Another party was there for Afternoon Tea, who had also complained. The staff were great and took are complaints to the chef. They did take off one of the Afternoon Teas off the bill which was a kind gesture. Will not be returning.

Lovely location, peaceful, gorgeous setting, all staff were professional, polite, and very helpful. Rooms are a little run down, but didn't spend a lot of time in there for it to be a problem, plenty of parking.

Rooms and hotel was clean, staff very friendly, Only thing stopping me from giving a 5* is no blind in our room ( or though we was asked if we would like to move rooms) and the beds they are small double and not comfortable. Apart from that out stay was great, the bar area had a lot of 70s 80s furniture and you will never be cold the rooms have good heating.

Nice hotel. The rooms are a little old style, but clean. We were not so kuch impressed by the rooms. However, there is a nice swimming pool and gymn area. We were lucky to be off season and had the whole pool for ourselves. The restaurant was brilliant, though. It does cost extra but for a decent price (10 for breakfast, 30 for 3 course dinner menu, as of 2022). The food is excellent and the quality of food is very good.
