Fortunately for us our two nights was as result of cashing in Tesco’s Clubcard points and not a cash booking. If I had of paid the £670 cash price I would not have been impressed or deemed this day value for money it simply wasn’t worth £670, also we were charged for the privilege of using the bar on top of the cost of two glasses of Pepsi Max service charge £6 per order even though we are residence at the property .

Lovely staff including Doris
This hotel is a little remote but that adds to the charm. The staff were friendly and treated us well. The room was spacious, a little cool but well designed. There was a microwave and small air fryer and fridge in the room, however no utensils other than disposable bamboo plates and wooden cutlery, it wasn’t used but could be helpful to know. The breakfast was very good, fruit, cereals, pastries and cooked breakfast as well. The resident cat Doris is a gentle and friendly little old lady aged 19, she is a star member of staff

Pleasant stay
Staff were friendly and we were made to feel welcome. Food was exceptionally good although drinks were expensive. Breakfast was good with a great selection on the menu. The windows in the bedroom didn't open making it feel very stuffy and hot. The carpet in the hall and leading to our room was badly worn to the point it could have been a trip hazard and badly needed replacement.

Breakfast very good, although now a buffet. Waitresses very helpful, but slow to clear away used plates. Room very, very clean and excellent quality slightly let down by old leaky tap washers, and only one hand towel in a room for two.

Parts of the hotel are a little tired but generally you still feel you are in a ‘proper’ British hotel. Staff are all lovely respectful and helpful. All youngsters but really nice helpful people. There was a wedding in and a 90th birthday but the staff made it all happen together well. Recommend a visit to this traditional hotel.

Liked: Staff & service
The hotel was lovely. Unfortunately the room was not quite what i was expecting. After booking and paying for a superior room (four poster bed) in the main building, which was one of the most expensive rooms in the hotel), I was somewhat underwelmed with it on arrival. No four poster bed which was disappointing and the furniture looked very tired. Also the toilet was full of black stains in the bowl.

We had a one night stay on route to Cornwall so didn't utilise all of the facilities however the room was large and clean and the beds were comfortable. We also used the pool, which was great, and breakfast was plentiful. The highlight was the hotel cat, Doris, who was very friendly.

Nice hotel and great staff, room could be better
Nice hotel and the customer service from staff was wonderful. Room was okay and did the job. No kettle and a bit stuffy in the heat but we still had a good nights sleep. The main door to enter the room needs to have a handle on the other side so that you can actually get out of the room! We stayed in room 20 and found it difficult to get a good grip to open the door by the latch each time. Disabled parking could be better as well. Only 2 spaces and they seem to be exactly the same size as nornal parking spaces.

Liked: Amenities
The appearance of the property and the area around it led us to expect more from the room, having said that it was clean but the bed was smaller than we would have liked. Staff were pleasant and helpful and there seemed to be more amenities/facilities than we would ever use, but to the obvious delight of some children staying there.
