The Sutherland

An overall fantastic experience. The staff - especially housekeeping - were so welcoming and helpful. It really did make my stay that much better. This was my 3rd stay, and I will definitely go back.

What a special place and really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere - food in the evening and the breakfast was excellent - a gem of a place - will definitely be back......

Very popular restaurant with hotel rooms. Rooms were small but well presented with comfortable beds, Coffee machine, fridge in some rooms, modern bathroom with walk in shower in all but one room. Plenty of car parking. Stayed on Sunday night. Two acts in garden provided background music that didn't interupt conversations. Plenty of outside seating for drinks or to eat. No TV in bar as this is really a restaurant with small inside bar area and lots of space outside. No lift but walk in shower makes life easier for elderly. Staff very attentive & nothing too much trouble. Good choice of breakfast items from eggs benedict, sausage/bacon sarni, to full English and vegetarian options. I would definitely stay there again.

The room was not the largest they had but we knew that when we booked, this was our choice as only staying one night - clean and well equipt just a bit of a squeeze moving round the room and more so around the shower room. Booking into the hotel and also getting taken to your table for evening meal was a little difficult on both occasions as the 'reception' is in the bar and staff are busy serving customers drinks - however not a big problem... food was good both the evening meal and breakfast. Not the hotels fault but our room was at the front and near some trees and local birds were very noisy early morning.

The property has been refurbished to a good standard but still could use some further work to improve the building even more It is an old building and some of the floors upstairs need some work ( just outside our room there was a dint in the floor that felt like it might go through if not looked at in the near future. ). Would also be nice if rooms on the ground floor were refurbished to allow access for those with less mobility to enjoy the hotel The staff could not do enough for us especially Chris our morning server who went out of his way to look after us and provided me with the requested additional items to my Eggs on toast.
