Breakfast menu excellent Evening meal disappointing

Excellent breakfast. Caring staff who helped my husband who uses a wheelchair.

Fantastic surroundings and views. Modern rooms and the restaurant is worth a visit even if you’re not staying.

Room was small but generally fine. Could have done with better lighting but everything worked. Food very good, good selection of drinks at the bar and decent tea in the room. It was nice that there was always staff about. Lovely setting and plenty of car parking. We had a few issues though - the bed sheets had blood stains on them. Had obviously been washed but we asked for replacement sheet as it was not nice to sleep in. The toilet seat was loose, but the worst thing was one of the single mattresses was well worn so you could feel all the springs. After tossing and turning for hours, I eventually put a towel on top which at least allowed me to sleep. These negatives put a bit of a downer on the stay, particularly considering it wasn't a cheap place to stay. So overall it's a could do better.

This hotel is set in beautiful surroundings and in calm , quiet location. The room was nice and clean and a good size. The presentation for the tea and coffee in the room was excellent and a really nice added touch. The breakfast choices were good and cooked on individual requests. A great place to stay . Thank you.
