The room was nice and clean. There was plenty of parking. Breakfast was very expensive so I didn't bother with it and found somewhere else local to get my breakfast.

Had a lovely stay here. It was very peaceful, the room was lovely and staff were good. Ate at the restaurant which was delicious and nice staff. Had a massage which was brilliant. The brewery was fantastic, definitely a highlight and only a couple minutes walk away. From other reviews, there were some cobwebs on the outside of the window but that really didn’t bother us. Overall, lovely place to stay. Nice and quiet!

Great stay, just what we wanted.

We loved the self check-in, made everything very quick and easy. Room we absolutely fine, clean and comfortable. We were at the front so had a little road noise but it wasn’t a problem and we slept well. Plenty of parking so that’s always a bonus. Breakfast in the nearby Colin Nash restaurant was excellent. A really good full-English. Will definitely stay here again.

Quiet, pleasant, as expected. Nice grounds and walks available. Traffic a bit noisy but not too bad. Nice ambience. Easy parking. If we need to stay in that area in future I expect we'll go there.
