Stayed for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Great Lounge and sitting area outside, room was large and spotlessly clean and breakfast choice was excellent. Would have preferred my smoke haddock to come plain and not in a sauce but that's just me. All staff were polite and helpful.

Fantastic break at Sentry Mead. Thank you to Gayle, Mark and all the team for making our holiday so special. Lovely little touches like the home made cake when we arrived and the fresh milk supplied in little bottles for our morning tea. Wonderful breakfast with delicious free range bacon and eggs. Lovely room and very comfortable mattress. Would give more than 5 Stars if we could. Can't wait to see you again soon, Kindest Regards, Mike and Gill.

Absolutely fabulous hotel. I booked a trip for my parents for my mum's 60th Birthday. I rung to make sure payment was taken from myself and not my parents. Gail was fantastic, so helpful and friendly. She even put chocolates in their room for them when she knew it was mum's birthday. My parents had a great time and we're chuffed with all aspects of the hotel. Would highly recommend. And will definitely be going again!
