Decidedly average

A decidedly average hotel and not deserving of the good ratings on here. Average room, generally dated, nothing that feels 4*. Coffee machine in the room but no cups or pods. Nothing special and there are way better choices - which I regret not taking instead.

Needs updating

Grounds lovely , staff friendly overall . Rooms quite outdated - corner bath badly stained - electric shower no power - ran either cold or scolding hot . Tv didn’t work due to poor signal . Carpets stained Cooked breakfast was lovely . But the fresh fruit was melon and tinned grapefruit - very 70’s . Outside was planted with lovely spring bulbs -

Nice hotel, unsure about 4 stars though.

Nice hotel, lovely grounds. Staff were super friendly and helpful and quickly solved an issue that we had. Restaurant and bar areas really nice and clean. Uncomfortable bed and pillows. Linen not great. Walls are thin, can hear everyone and everything outside. Emergency lighting outside ‘garden rooms’ stays on all night making it look like it’s daylight all night long. Bar prices and food a little too expensive.
