Room very dated
We were out in the old rooms, so basic & dated, must be 20 + years since these last had a refit. We paid £196 which was a rip off for this room, £110 would have been fair as it was way beyond tired.

Would return
Location and grounds fantastic. Hotel is a bit tired but functional.
Staff generally nice ( except a grumpy receptionist) breakfast fine.
Would stay again because of location and the village facilities.

Friendly and fabulous.
The staff at this hotel could not have been anymore helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them. They are very dog friendly and although not allowed in the restaurant which I fully agree with we could take our dog in the lounges. The pool and sauna/steam room were great and very well maintained. We would definitely return here when we are visiting this area again. Great breakfast too!

Beautiful & recommended
The drive up to the hotel is beautiful with a grand entrance. Check in was perfect. The main dining and lounge areas are very relaxing and welcoming with helpful staff. The rooms are a little tired and extremely warm which made it a little uncomfortable but didnt ruin the trip. Breakfast was really good with a great selection. We also dined in the lounge and, whilst not a great selection, what we had was delicious. Overall, it was a great two night stay and great value too.
