Dinner was excellent, and the staff were welcoming and attentive. We both enjoyed the salmon and sea bass. Our large room had a comfortable bed and pillows. There were a few noises from creaking upstairs, but we still slept well. The included hot and cold breakfast was a bonus.

The price was a bargain by today's standards, and I’d definitely come back. Breakfast had everything you need, and the rooms were very clean and well equipped. The staff deserve a special mention, they’re a real asset to the hotel, so friendly and helpful. Thanks.

I was glad to find a last-minute room that would take my two small dogs, and the staff were lovely and accommodating. The location is handy and there’s parking on site. For £80, plus a very reasonable £10 dog charge, the single room was a decent size, clean, and had a comfortable bed and pillow. Oat milk was available for coffee, which was a nice touch, thank you. But the bathroom was quite dated and the towels very worn, which affected the feel of the room. I didn’t sleep well either, with lots of door noise and thin walls. For dinner I ordered sweet and sour mixed veg with rice and chips. Staff told me the chips were cooked in the same fryer as meat, but served them anyway, so I had to take them off my plate. Breakfast was included, but very basic and bland, with no vegan sausages. It was disappointing for the room price.

The steak dinner was brilliant, the best ribeye I’ve had in the UK so far. We had a large superior room and bathroom, with bath sheets rather than towels. Check-in was easy and friendly, and there’s plenty of off-street parking behind the hotel. We also wandered into the locals’ bar and found a jamming session, where we made new friends.
