10/10 Excellent

Lovely 'ArtDeco' hidden gem off the M6. Old quaint place that looks like a set off Hercule Poirot. Dining room is like being on the Titanic ! Lovely staff and great breakfast. Enjoyed our stay.
Keith, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Stayed on numerous occasions as is just a lovely quiet getaway. Do need your own transport if you want to get about and see towns and villages around the area. Staff amazing as always and make you feel right at home. Hotel is dated if a little shabby but this is the charm and character of the place. Surrounding grounds are perfect for just relaxing and watching the red squirrels and a variety of birds. The breakfast is great and evening meal offers plenty of choice.

Staff were very helpful and property was clean and tidy, however the heating wasn't working in the room and it was very cold. Property is also a bit dated. Very good value for money overall.
