Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent evening meal. Not very convenient to go to dinner _ access to the bar/restaurant was outside and the weather is not always good.

I think I would sum up the property as "tired elegance"! staff were very helpful and charming and the food was excellent. It must have been a very grand house at one time - I didn't have a chance to explore outside. It has been 7 years since I visited it last for a funeral wake.

Room change
I stayed here for 4 nights and during the 2nd night there was an issue with the room, and I wanted to change rooms, Millie on reception was very understanding and helpful and sorted me another room out immediately in the lodge for the rest of my stay, I can’t praise her enough for this
The food was good and the other staff were friendly and polite

Awful place
We stayed in room 27 which is in a detached lodge house at the end of the carpark. There are a number of self contained rooms. The Carpet on the stairs was thread bare all the way up, the bathroom was very old, and after pressure was non existent. Noise all night, doors banging.

Olde Worlde charm, sumptuous wood panelled lounge, bar and nice restaurant with good food.
Some aspects a little dated and could benefit from an upgrade.

Just what I needed tor the occasion
In this case I was travelling alone so just needed somewhere comfortable to rest my head and have a good breakfast. While this hotel is getting a bit threadbare, the walls are a bit thin, and the shower is a little tight, it fit my needs perfectly on this occasion. Staff are very pleasant and helpful breakfast and breakfast room are great.
