Paid extra for largest room size only to find lift not working and unable to climb stairs to room. No offer of assistance with luggage to even attempt to get to the room. Requested room change on lower floor which was granted but no refund was given on smaller room. No prior warning offered about the lift when checking in

The staff in all areas were friendly and courteous. The rooms were large and spotless. Nice bathroom. Rooms were quiet at night. Breakfast, bar and restaurant very good. Ample parking (we were on 6 motorcycles). Ideal base for the area, we would come again. Highly recommended.

Its a lovely old property on fantastic grounds. As expected, the internal decor needs some rejuvenation but it is clean. The dinner option was very good, and the wait service by Barry was great!

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Staff were very helpful and the setting and grounds are beautiful. However the hotel itself is run down. Sauna and lift not working. The shower temperature would not stay constant. Carpet in our room was threadbear. The toilet in the public area was filthy had no toilet paper and was like this for 2days. Clearly it had not been checked. The bar did not do food after 8 pm and had closed early. The restaurant food was overcooked and our made to order breakfast lacked some key components. The beds were comfortable and staff responded when we raised issues We would not stay here again unless it has major renovation

Best stay at a hotel for many a year

Our stay was simply superb. Staff were very helpful in rectifying a booking issue which ad all down to me, reception and bar an restaurant staff. The rooms were equally exceptionally. It is impossible to fault the hotel on anything at all. Our best stay at any hotel for many a year.

Sad and dated. Bed was solid… seriously. I’d have been better on the floor. 3 members of staff took 10 mins to find someone to check me in.
