Nice hotel and convenient
Room was very spacious and well equipped. I arrived a little late for food and even though the kitchen was closed they did offer to make sandwiches and chips for me which was a nice gesture. Would like to stay again as menu looked awesome.

Very pleasant staff, nice food for evening meal and breakfast, reasonably priced evening menu (we had the fixed price menu).
Room was large, felt cold when we arrived but that was due to the radiators being switched off. Once they were on the room warmed up very nicely and quickly.
Room felt a little dated but nothing too bad, could do with a little fresh coat of paint.
Our room (5) was also above the main bar area, think this might apply to all the rooms and we could hear the conversations quite clearly from below. So if you are a light sleeper and want to go to bed before closing time this might affect you.
Overall, I was happy and would return for an overnight stay and food.

Great location, friendly helpful staff, good service.
The shower screen was short of the side of the bath so flooded the bathroom and soaked my towel.
This definitely needs attention.

A very pleasant stay! Lovely large room and the bar and restaurant was great. Comfortable bed and good shower. They even made me food after the kitchen was closed.
Only negative was the mini single use plastic shower gels and shampoos. Refillable soap and shampoo dispensers would make it perfect!

The staff members were so amazingly helpful and friendly. As a solo traveler with a cane I struggle with stairs and excessive walking but the staff helped me to my room when I arrived and Katen even helped we all the way to the train platform across the way when I left. While this location is remote the charm and guality mke it a beautiful destination stay and the food was to die for. I had one minor issue in my room and they resolved it while I was out so 5/5

Cannot fault staff, pub or food.
However the room, while a good size needed a more thorough cleaning. Dusty and carpet needs cleaning.

Check in and first night hospitality was excellent. Welcoming,quiet and cozy atmosphere by the wood fire. Easy conversation with other guests with great tips on local points of interest. We slept well all 3 nights. Some concerns, breakfast is 7-9 prepaid the day before, so we opted in the first morning which we didn't do again as, there was one server for the whole dining room. At 8am, there was little left of the continental offerings and my Benedict was stone cold from the kitchen.

Fantastic service from staff.Rooms could be better
Beautiful location and beer garden. Rooms were ok but very tiered, in need of a freshen up and dragging out if the 1980's. Please remove the horrible net curtains, they are filthy!
Apart from the room, everything else was lovely. Brilliant service from all staff members, check in was friendly and all bar and waiting on staff were wonderful.
