Easy access from motorway but feels so relaxing and as if in the deep countryside. Lovely location, excellent restaurant and very helpful staff. This was our second stay and we will stay again.

Booked this hotel for a stop over on way home to Scotland and found a hidden gem. Set in beautiful surroundings adjacent to the canal and lovely beer garden in front of picturesque pond. The buildings and interior decor were beautiful at very reasonable room rates. Very friendly efficient staff and nice food. Couldn’t fault it for anything and will defo return.

A beautiful setting which was even better in the glorious sunshine we had. Had a fantastic suite overlooking the canal. Tastefully decorated and so much space. Nice meal in the bar which had a lovely atmosphere. So nice to walk around the lakes andby the canal.

Would definitely stay here again.

Our stay here exceeded expectations. The room was spacious and very well appointed. The quality of food at dinner & breakfast was first class. The hotels location is idyllic with superbly landscaped grounds. It is dog friendly too. Absolutely faultless.

Beautiful setting with the canal and lake surrounding the property. Staff were friendly, parking was easy and check-in was painless. Our room was functional, if a little dated but had a strong musty smell which wasn't very pleasant. We only stayed for one night, but slept well as it was quiet and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good, and the food overall was decent.
