After an amazing party in the afternoon we were unable to check until after 4;pm by which time no room on the lower floor was given as an option. The room is in the annex and described as a 2 minute walk. But that's not true for older people who have issues with walking. Once in the room which was hot. No heating was visible: the automatic fan and light combination was awful. Additionally no WiFi available. At 3am a red/green light started flashing which turned out to be the TV; eventually we found the off switch. Breakfast was greatly anticipated but sadly did not meet a 4star standard I can't even describe the black pudding. This was a greatly anticipated visit. I will try and see if it's improved in 6 months time.

The rooms look much better online as than it is in real life very basic

I had a fantastic stay. The room was well equipped, the staff were friendly and facilities excellent. I found the value for money superb. The breakfast in the morning was great for just £10 per person.

Beware web site descriptions do not match realities. A 'Deluxe' room is described as having a bath tub and countryside views. We had no bath and out look across the car park. Room had no heating (helpful staff member brought in a plug-in heater), broken windows, missing light bulb and no clothes hangars. Minor things but not what you want when arriving late a night. In the morning , woken by folk in room above as the floors creek and there is a lack of sound insulation. At breakfast, bread, pastries and butter ran out. Good bits: EV chargers work well. Hotel staff all v friendly . Overall, disappointed to not receive the experience we had been offered and paid for.

Fine hotel.

Room was well lit and clean
