We had hiked 15 miles so we were just so pleased to get in and have a good shower and a comfy bed. Just as well we were already awake though as they were sawing up wood to make decking below our room window at 7.15 am…

The beds were wonderful, the room was larger than expected and the people were very nice. I look forward to seeing what this hotel will be like after it’s renovated and has beautiful hanging baskets outdoors. It definitely needs some TLC! Adding an espresso maker for good coffee would also be a plus hint hint ;-)

This property needs alot of money spent on it to tidy up the facilities. Menu is very limited. Rooms were nice, but couldn’t have a shower as it was either ice ice cold of scalding hot. Ended up just having a stand up wash. No cooked breakfast. Very dissapointed.

Disliked: Amenities
Advertised with room - cooked English breafast. Apparently no chef so was told when we checked in it will be a continental breakfast. Also as there was no chef there would be no evening meals for the rest of our stay. Continental breakfast was small variety pack cereals, yoghurt (just 2 available), 2 apples, 3 muffins (flies kept landing on these) & toast. Not what I would call Continental. The last morning there were some miniature pastries which were snapped up by foreign visitors.

The room was lovely, a huge en-suite with shower and a bath. Comfortable mattress, quality bedding and towels. We booked here because of the free parking and the full English breakfast included. However on arrival we read on the menu in our room that they only provide a continental breakfast. Apparently the new owners, although having reopened 4 months ago have not changed the wording of the breakfast on their site or that of all the other booking sites. So I was expecting bread rolls with a choice of ham and cheese, mixed fruit etc. but was underwhelmed at the offering which isn’t even continental….cereal, yoghurts and fruit juices. Although we were offered toast, hot drinks and croissants as well. Also they appear to be short staffed as the bar was often left unattended while the barman ran around waiting on tables as well. With a few tweaks this could be a great place to stay ie. more staff, especially on a Saturday evening and a cooked breakfast or at least honesty about the breakfast offering.

There was no room available I was not helped by the staff thier who blamed Expedia and ignored me. I was left stranded with my family despite having booked and paid for my room. I was unable to make contact with Expedia who disabled typing on messages

The restaurant menus need revising as little choice unless you want something with chips and greasy ones at that! On the first night I ordered one of the couple of alternatives - belly pork. The whole dish was so bad I sent it back. The manageress said she hadn’t received any other complaints but two other tables complaining about the same dish! Needless to say we ate dinner at other restaurants.
