Fly infestation

The overall hotel was very nice but there is a terrible problem with flies. In the restaurant, bar and even the rooms. I’m sure they could have done more to rectify this. Whilst dinning on the Friday it was really difficult to eat without flies landing on food. The fish and chips were not the best too. Even at breakfast we had to cover our drinks and plates due to a fly infestation

Overall Good Hotel

Good staff and a nice hotel although we found the room quite dark and bathroom dated. However, it was clean and comfortable. Food in the lounge bar was very good. Parking good too and electric charge points available.

Stayed here for a friend's wedding. Lovely spacious room. Terrific food in the bar, with outstanding service. Also an excellent venue for the wedding. We've already rebooked!

Nice property in a lovely setting. It has a particularly bad problem with flies in the bar and restaurant; so challenging that it became impossible to eat within the building in the evening. A real shame as otherwise this meant for a comfortable stay. Sadly I wouldn’t return for this reason.

The restaurant let this stay down. Lots of items in the menu were not available and communication was poor in relation to this. Service was also slow. To be fair they did apologies and were nice. Other than that, the hotel staff were excellent and welcoming.
