Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff are very helpful and pleasant, due to the cooler weather could have done with some heat in the rooms. Unfortunately our towel rail didn’t work which meant replacing the towels because no way to get them dry. The extractor fan didn’t work either both reported to staff, One other little niggle there are signs to hang on the doors on whether you want your room tidied up but nowhere on the outside of the door too hang them. If there was it might save chambermaids going into each room when it wasn’t really required.

The twin room was ok. The only down side is no toilet brush and having to leave the hot tap running for a while waiting for it to get hot

Disappointing

Nice building , staff pleasant and helpful , food general pub food , breakfast very good . My only real issue was the cleanliness , there were dead flies in all the windowsills , the shower heads were full of limescale and looked grim , shower surround had previous guests hair on it , chipped cups for coffee in the bedrooms and wine glasses in the bar cloudy and looked unclean , sink in bathroom had a build up of limescale , the paintwork on walls and doors all need redoing looked tatty , i am not high maintenance , and have stayed in many Greene Kings , this sadly was not upto the standard of the others we have stayed in .

A real hidden gem!

This is one of the nicest hotels I've stayed at, and I've stayed at a lot of hotels! We had such a lovely room that had the stream running past the window. The beds were super comfy and the room had lots of plug sockets which seems rare in hotels! It was a Greene King but the food was better than any I've been too and reasonably priced. Service was quite slow considering how quiet it was but the staff were very friendly. The pictures online don't do this place justice, a real hidden gem!
