food location, comfortable room

Well appointed, comfortable and quiet room with easy parking. Dinner not worth the money, adequate but nothing special. Service was very good but the management policy of not returning left policy after six months is petty - I left my iphone charger behind on my last stay, called on return home and was told the charger would be retained for my next visit - seems that despite the efforts of the staff to retuen my policy this was stopped due to a management edict citing six months. Very petty and left a sour taste.

Great stay overall, modern and clean with nice facilities. Our room faced the road, which was a bit noisy but nothing a pair a good earplugs can't resolve. Lovely picturesque village and good restaurant!

Liked the hotel room. It was a decent temperature. Bathroom was good with a nice powerful shower. Carpet dirty in places…. Not always practical. Coffee and tea on offer which is nice. We ate dinner at the restaurant and my husband did not like the flank steak and frozen baked fries. Overpriced for what was served. My fish and chips were better and I liked the option to have batter or no batter.
