Booked for a little weekend away as a birthday treat, hotel itself was lovely, staff were friendly, room was clean, bed was comfy, lovely shower facilities with great water pressure and hot water. Continental breakfast is good for convenience and quickness however would be absolutely 10/10 if there was a proper breakfast included. Other than that lovely location, close drive to view prints. Definitely will re visit and recommended to others.

Above Average

My recent stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. much to be desired. Upon checking in, I noticed that the bedsheets still had hair from a previous guest, which was quite off-putting. This raised concerns about the overall hygiene standards of the hotel. The service was decent, and the staff was polite, but attention to detail in housekeeping needs serious improvement. If cleanliness were better maintained, this could be a much more pleasant stay. Until then, I would hesitate to return.

Disappointed about the breakfast. No cooked breakfast, no one in the restaurant at breakfast time. There was no mention at booking time about continental breakfast.

Beautiful old inn and restaurant. Requested a level floor room and stayed in the converted "stables" - felt like a little cottage! Great atmosphere, great breakfast spread and enjoyed dinners in the restaurant. Overall - if you need to be in this area - stay here. Staff were great!

I and my wife had an amazing stay at this place. Nice clean rooms, incredibly comfortable. No room service but it wasn't required as such for an overnight stay. Definitely recommended for a short stay.
