Great place to stay
We picked this hotel as a stopover on our journey. We chose it as the restaurant looked good.
We got the last room available, it was small but very comfortable.
Dinner that evening was excellent as was the breakfast next morning couldn’t fault a thing.

Really good location and dinner and breakfast. Staff very friendly and doing a great job but Marston's brewery seem to be cutting costs by under staffing more staff needed . Nice rooms with great views but they do need tlc to bring them up to modern standards

Good location
The room was big and clean. Bathroom was outdated. Not many windows can open so it was a bit warm inside.

Relaxing, enjoyable stay
Lovely clean and comfortable room, we requested a double (as room could also be a twin), and the room was set up without any issues.
We ate at the restaurant every night, and the food was wonderful.
Due to local road resurfacing, when we booked the restaurant online (as we were sightseeing), we were called by the hotel to advise us of the roadworks, which was appreciated.

Overall good, but cleanliness requires improvement
Overall a great location, friendly and helpful staff, and our room was on the ground floor with its own patio area which was great.
The food was good and a good selection of drinks, but a little overpriced and service was very slow. Breakfast was excellent and service was improved for this.
The room wasnt the cleanest with lots of webs and spiders in the corners, and a few bits on the carpet. The tables in the pub and outside were also very cluttered with old glasses that hadnt been cleared away, coupled with dirty/sticky tables.
Shame really because its a great location with great potential!
