The hotel has its ups and downs. The room I stayed in was warm, clean, and spacious with a lovely shower, but there were issues with water temperature and pressure. The service was very welcoming and friendly, although the bathroom floor needs attention. The location was perfect, not too far from the main road, and had dog-friendly rooms. The dining experience was a mixture of superb personal waitressing and disappointing food replenishment. The facilities were standard.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms ranged from having a musty smell to being lovely and nicely laid out with white tablecloths. The location offered a lovely view but had a cold and less friendly atmosphere. The dining experience fell short, with disappointing breakfast options. The facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel has rooms with a bath, which was a nice touch. The room was of high standard and pleasantly cool. However, being close to a wedding reception caused some disturbances with loud music until midnight and loud conversations below our window.

The staff had a mix of friendliness, with some being unfriendly while others were very friendly and helpful. One member of our party had specific dietary needs, and the service accommodated gluten-free requirements.

The location met our expectations, and it was convenient for our visit, despite some noise from central heating pipes and the nearby car park and beer garden.

The dining experience had to be pre-ordered the night before, and while some aspects were good, overall it was a major disappointment and did not offer value for money.
