The condition of the property is average tending to poor. The staff are great and the food was also excellent. The bed in our room had an old fashioned mattress and when my partner moved, so did I. The plumbing in the bathroom needed attention, noisy and the toilet took 20 mins to fill the cistern and sounded like a fire hose. Sink drainage also took ages probably because the plug was seized partially closed.

Convenient position for seeing the area. Very cold floor in bathroom, no bath mat supplied, we had to use one of our towels. additionally towel radiator not working and leaking bottom left making floor wet. Would have liked a net curtain at window of our ground floor room which overlooked the car park, had to keep curtains closed for privacy.

I don’t like writing a negative review, but in the case I feel I must. Room was small with tacky furniture, would describe it as single with a double bed stuffed in. Bathroom had mold on the walls, sink was miniature and the electric fan not working . Paintwork was marked with wiring loose bedroom . Just a view of the snags.

A very friendly and relaxing hotel. We have no complaints. The welcome and hospitality was very good, our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The food was amazing. The only thing that lets it down is that it’s obviously a very old building and requires constant maintenance, so the building was a little un cared for in places. But it won’t stop us from returning. It was very good and the views were amazing

The property has such much potential, however the cleanliness was poor. The main hall had remnants of a prior wedding which didn't look like it had been cleared for a week or more. The gardens had old glasses etc left on the tables. The breakfast was sad and we had to change rooms as the first was unclean and tired. Everywhere could have done with a hoover, dust and general wipe down, followed by a lick of paint. Such a shame as the location is beautiful, the scenery stunning, just let down by the interior.

Needs a serious deep clean
We got to the room to find it was a twin and not a double so we went straight back to the desk to get that changed. We got a free drink at the bar while she ziplinked the ends together. When we got back in the room we noticed that it was not clean. Mould in the bathroom, I had to clean the toilet because I was desperate after the long drive. The carpet hadn't been cleaned at all with hair and food left on it. The carpet did not fit the floor and was frayed at the edges. The door handle in the bathroom was not fitted properly and there were dead bugs lying around the widow and the floor. There was also rust in the kettle and dust in the mugs. We did not feel comfortable staying in this room and after hearing another guest complaining about the cleanliness of their room we did not want t stay in the hotel either. We booked another place and checked out. We were not charged

In an old rectory, this hotel’s location is beyond amazing. Nestled in a beautiful valley with stunning mountain views, you hardly remember the world you left. The room was a little worn but the room isn’t why you book here. There are beautiful walks to town, through fields and church yards, over a wide river and all with 360 degree natural beauty. The restaurant is pretty good too. Breakfast was included and was cooked to order

Average at best
Room was comfortable and the food was perfect and would recommend. However bathroom was in need of renovation with cracked tiles and grout just coming out under foot. On checkout our details were taken to send the invoice over and I am still to receive this after a further phone call to ask for this. Hotel has the potential to be great as thr hard part (food) is in place.
