"I was welcomed to the property, shown to my room by a friendly and helpful lady. She explained about the shower, tea and coffee making, and how to access the property using the fob. There was also a written guide in the room. The problem I encountered was the small spotlights were flickering which made reading or knitting difficult so the first night I lay on the floor by the bathroom door to read as these lights did not flicker. On the second night a chair had been provided so I was able to sit at the same end but on a chair which was more comfortable."

"A lovely hotel with character all areas well kept and room spotless thankyou"

"Hotel is looking quite dated now. Bathroom was cramped and difficult getting in and out of the shower. My main issue is breakfast timings. Stayed for business and at check in told breakfast was from 7-9am. On my first day it didn't start until 7.30 and the second arrived at 7.45 and informed that didn't start until 8am. No communication beforehand to the guests. Meant that I had to rush on both days as otherwise would have been late to my jobs. The food was nice and the kitchen staff were helpful but clear that their hours were being reduced to save costs."

"Unfortunately, there was a student prom on that evening, so the noise was too much till late."

"Bar was truly cosy & inviting, restaurant food wonderful. Lovely to see canal boats passing our room window. Beautiful outside lake area to enjoy on a warm sunny day"

"The overall stay was excellent value, I was well looked after. The room was spotless, clean and comfortable. The evening meal was the highlight, spot on and super tasty. One of the best stays I have ever had in the UK other than those over £300 per night (not often) and this was a third of that price. "

"Main building, lovely and as expected, however when checking in, they moved us to a room at the rear, quite modern and average at best"

"The hotel looked very posh and impressive from the outside, and that was probably the only part I genuinely liked. Unfortunately, once inside, it felt about 30 years behind modern standards. The room was clean, but honestly, the average person probably has a better bedroom and bathroom at home than what was being offered here. I also paid extra for a room with a king-size bed, but it was the smallest “king” bed I’ve ever seen, which was really disappointing. The bath was ridiculously small too — I could barely even stand in it properly, and I’m a fit, average-sized person, so that was pretty pathetic. On top of that, the TV looked like something from the 1950s, which just added to how outdated the whole place felt. Overall, it was a big disappointment and nowhere near worth the extra money."

"Clean room, great breakfast, very friendly staff."
