Good for a short stay

All in all, the hotel is okay. It's getting a bit long in the tooth, and I would describe the facilities as rather basic overall. Room service is only provided when required. Breakfast is okay.

My friend and I stayed here as Rye was too expensive. Check is a strict 3pm doors shut. The accommodation was ok. Felt a bit tired but good value for money with a breakfast. Beds and linen comfortable and clean - bathroom a bit tired and shower had no pressure. Overall no complaints for the price of the room. Grounds need a bit of attention.

Dissapointed

Bad wifi, shower was disgusting so we didnt shower. Bed was dusty and we didnt sleep, mould in bathroom and paint coming off ceiling, false advertising!!! Didnt look at all like the photos, the owner really needs to change things, wanted a nice night away for piece and quiet and relax, couldnt even shower in that thing and got such bad allergies from the bedding. That owner should be ashamed, scamming people like that, that place has so much more potential, its a shame, we checked in, saw the room and left and only came back to sleep, obviously couldnt, packed our bags by 8, tried the breakfast and checked out immediately after.... oh and sign on check in said said no stupid people beyond this point

The lodge is in a lovely rural setting. The rooms are modern & scrupulously clean. There is plenty of choice at breakfast, especially all the fresh fruit. Dinners were delicious. Lee, the owner, & his staff were excellent.

Good value for money

Lovely clean friendly place with restaurant and bar onsite. Bit like a travelodge but more personal. Rooms clean and comfortable but otherwise basic. Slept really well but decided to skip the buffet breakfast and go to a cafe nearby

The hotel is great. Very nice snd clean room, everything you need. We stayed with our family 2 adults 2 children and really loved it. Very nice territory, fountain with fishes, quiet location but you can easily reach shops and restaurants by car (5-7 minutes). Would come back here again.

Not bad, but not brilliant

The room was (standard) was adequate. The shower was awkward to adjust and operate, but the room had everything we needed. The evening meal again was ok. Not exceptional, and the menu. was not very inspiring The breakfast was extremely good.
