    The rooms are a bit compact, they were however clean and comfortable. The food both breakfast and dinner were greasy spoon level of quality. The user interface for ordering food was lamentably poor. They were under staffed, which I recognise is not the staffs' fault.

    I'm so old I don't understand how modern showers work. I don't want to find myself pressing a button and then being burnt by boiling water which has happened at a friend's. So I'm Mr Cautious in the show room. How about some written instructions, written in showerlish? One of the poblems of eating out when you'r old is that you can't get what you want. My breakfast at home is oats, banana, blueberries, soya milk, honey, sliced apple, and dried fruit (peaches, prunes etc etc ) .....

    Good location. Carpets and furniture were a little tired. Breakfast was limited to cooked food only, no cereal or fruit was available.

    The property is in a good location with a car park. The rooms and decor is very tired. The food is poor (we had breakfast and an evening meal). The staff were cordial but not over helpful. The rooms were basic and not too clean and also very stuffy (it was very hot). We had to prop the door open to get some air into the room. The breakfast times were very limiting (only between 8-9am). There was also very loud music from the kitchen up until around 8pm.

  • Engine customer Apr 2025

    Very comfy bed and perfectly placed one he village to enjoy a night away. Staff were very helpful and the breakfast very tasty. Room had everything you needed and was very clean. Free parking was a bonus. Nothing to not like.

  • Engine customer Apr 2025

    Well sited with easy parking, good beer friendly enough staff. Nice bathroom, plenty of amenities nearby, would stay again but eat elsewhere Overcharged for drinks advertised at £11 for 2 and then charge £13.50 each, check first next time Food was standard (Brake Brothers) Pub Grub, not over expensive but not too tasty either, passable I'd say Room was quite warm
