Gordon, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Val, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Not really a hotel as there is not front desk or bar just bedrooms ( and healing therapies if thats your reason to be there)but a very nice place to stay with large rooms and easy to find and travel around. All rooms up a flight of stairs with key codes to gain access.Excellent restaurant situated right next door for breakfast lunch or dinner with a lovely bar ,which is also dog friendly. Good grounds and perfect if you want to chill outside after a days sightseeing and good for walking the dog. Road side rooms very noisy when the windows are open. They did pop some ear plugs on the bedside table but these not really good enough to block the noise completely. Had a fan in the room which was great due to the hot weather.

The room was stated as a king size bed , however it seems it was two single beds pulled together which was very disappointing.
