We only had a one night stay for an occasion. Once we found a car park, that was good, but there is no hotel parking. The hotel staff were very pleasant. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good, but we thought it was a little bit pricey. An enjoyable stay.

We normally stay at Premier Inns but for once we thought we would try a village hotel and we were not disappointed. The hotel was clean, quiet and well run. Good nights sleep and then a warm and cheerful welcome in the morning from Gemma one of the girls in the restaurant. Gemma was polite, attentive and very efficient. In summary we enjoyed everything about our stay and would not hesitate to stay again in the future. Thank you

A very comfortable bed, staff very friendly. No parking so had to park in nearby carpark. There was a Christmas party in the event room below us which didn’t finish till midnight and was very loud. If I had thought about it I wouldn’t have booked a town centre location so my fault.
