Impressive building in wooded grounds. Excellent friendly service. Stayed in four poster suite which was disappointing, tatty old furniture and tired furnishings. Shower above bath was very difficult to use. Excellent breakfast. Would recommend this hotel but not the room we stayed in.

The room was fine but let down by the poor shower. Staff were exceptional, breakfasts very good. No restaurant facilities for lunch or evening meals. Hot snacks were available. The staff made it an enjoyable experience.

1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel grounds are quite nice with a nice terrace to the rear with a pleasant garden view. The hotel itself is quite striking. Down side for us was the room had a view of an iron fire escape, and the working yard. Possibly I had booked a twin room due to my wife's recent hip operation, and so doubles may have far better views. Room was rather tired, but clean. Plus side is they give nice biccies, water. Big plus side is the staff are really friendly, helpful, and the breakfast was excellent.

Our stay was excellent! the building is set in a lovely quiet area at the edge of the village, and the staff were so friendly and helpful.

Our Stay

Wonderfully friendly, helpful staff. A spacious bedroom, quiet and well equipped. The only blip was the dated bathroom. Painted chips to the bath and the ‘gold’ rubbed off the taps etc.

Wonderful Reception Staff!

The member of staff on reception is excellent. She moves around from reception to bar to restaurant and is very efficient - she is a credit to the hotel!
Jacqueline, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A very enjoyable stay

A lovely old house, so creaking floorboards and no lift but that just goes with the character of the property. Very friendly and efficient staff, very clean, excellent breakfast, very good 'light bites' food in bar which was all we needed in the evening (restaurants about 10 mins walk away). My bed could have done with a new mattress but in any event I slept like a log so can't complain too much about that.
Mozley, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Charming, comfortable and clearly not part of a chain. Pleasant decor, in keeping with the age of the house which is early nineteenth century, with interesting features such as the staircase and the portico at the front. Lovely staff especially Natalie. Excellent breakfast.
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A lovely place to stay

Stayed one night here and it was lovely. The building is beautifully decorated and is clearly looked after by the owners. Our room was bright and decorated in keeping with the age of the building. We had a drink in the bar and sat in the living area which was very nice. Breakfast the next morning was freshly cooked and plentiful. The staff are lovely and would definitely stay again if we were back in the area.
