very friendly staff, room was basic but apart from water pressure in shower was perfect for overnight stay. Dinner was nice albeit not much choice. Breakfast was excellent. All things considered would return.

Staff great and friendly, excellent breakfast as usual, but toast dropped from breakfast this time? Informed bar was closing at 10pm half an hour before, and hotel bar would be locked up, big disappointment, after all we go away, to have a few drinks,not to have to go to your room or stay outside after 10pm! Unfortunately wont be going again purely for this reason! pity as we liked it here!

Aside the room being a bit tired & the mattress uncomfortable - everything was fine. The member of staff working in the bar on arrival was particularly helpful.

On arrival the front of staff was very friendly and welcoming. The place itself and location is picturesque and has good potential. However, the room (kingfisher) is very tired and needs updating. The bathroom ceiling leaks when it rains, hence the container on the floor!! As for the food, terrible, the management have seriously let the staff down. The choices are basic and only half of the options available. The website showing a chef in white is misleading. I would give the food a wide berth and eat elsewhere as we did on our 2nd night. The landlords which is a brewery beginning with R has seriously let the staff and public down by their lack of interest, direction and investment. If it wasn't for the staff, I would be asking for a full refund as the place is not worth it
