Nice clean place. The room and bathroom doors on the upper floor are meant for hobbits. Therefore, if a normal person is not careful, it leaves a bump on their head. On a warm day, those rooms are not very comfortable to sleep as there is no air conditioning.

Nice and friendly welcome and on arrival impressed with the bedroom however on checking bedding a dried blood stain on the fitted sheet which was clear to see and in clear view (must have been seen when making the bed up) and also a dirty stained pillowcase was evident. Reception informed and immediately resolved the issue. They also offered a free drink as an apology. Tv remote required new batteries but was advised the sensor was hid behind the dressing table mirror and although we moved it, it still did not work. We were in room 6 and the noise from the large industrial fans were running up to 10:30 at night and we were awoken by them restarting at 6am. Avoid this room if you want a peaceful night sleep.
The food was amazing at breakfast and evening meal and therefore this influenced the better star rating given.
Such a shame as if there had been no issues it would have deserved a higher score.

Harassed by housekeeping to leave my room 30 minutes before our agreed upon late checkout time with the manager.

Immensely impressed with this small hotel. Friendly and efficient check-in service.

We had struggled to get the heating on in our room, but this was sorted out with great patience and efficiency. And at breakfast, we had exceptionally good service. Couldn't have asked for more. Sure - it's not luxurious, but it was friendly, quiet, efficient and the food was superb. Recommended

I booked a Superior room for a one night stay to attend parkrun on a Saturday morning. I received a very warm welcome on checking and was informed that I had a reserved parking space allocated to me at the rear of the property which was a really nice touch.
I had Room 4 which had a large double comfy bed - dressing table wardrobe and a sofa and chair.
Nice hospitality tray provided
The room had an ensuite with a large walk in shower nice quality towels and toiletries

Breakfast was included in the price and you'd be hard pressed not to find something to suit.

Check out is 10am but I was able to leave my car in the parking spot till about 12.

I didn't eat in the evening as I had arrangements already made.

I found the Hotel and area around very quiet overnight too.

The highlight of this hotel is the restaurant, the food is the best we have had. If i had one criticism, it would be that they need more staff at breakfast, felt like the young lady that served us couldnt cope, we had to keep asking for things, ie butter for toast, its a pretty standard thing but it took 20 minutes, so everything was cold by the time we got it. Overall though, fantastic place and would definatley return.
