very nice room great welcome convenient location, breakfast very nice and good service.
bathroom was a bit "functional" but the room was designed for disabled access, so probably to be expected although not pointed out on booking. Also a bit noisy by the roadside and bed a bit narrow. Quite expensive room so expected a little more to be honest but it was a comfortable, friendly and clean experience all the same.

The staff were friendly and efficient. The dinning room had a wonderful bookcase full of old books - it was fun to browse and read the books at breakfast. The bedroom was clean, spacious and bigger than we expected.

Lovely village location, large off-road car park. Small shop about 10 mins walk away if you wanted any odds & ends.
Very friendly staff.
Loved all the historical aspects to the building.
Comprehensive menu for evening food, I really enjoyed my beef curry. Excellent full breakfast.
No blackout curtains, so very light in the bedroom from about 0545 hrs.
Bathroom - lights come on via a sensor - too bright if you have to get up for a nocturnal visit!

Friendly staff. Good breakfast
Evening meal. Main meal arrived minutes after starters finished showing signs of sitting under heat, obviously cooked too early and rushed out.
As a result we eat somewhere else the following evening. Disappointing.

Milk provided in fridge instead of those liittle plastic tubs. Well done. Lovely toiletries in bathroom. Breakfast was good. Good provision for vegan breakfast. Lovely vegan sausages. Mushrooms weren't great, but maybe because they were precooked and we didn't come to breakfast until 9 so probably sat around for a while.
mushrooms for breakfast

characterful and staff very friendly , attentive and went out of their way to accommodate us us for an evening meal when we hadn’t booked a table
bed was not very comfortable in the ground floor room but other rooms no complaints. it may be that the floor was a little uneven and the bed may have needed some levelling

Not much to be critical of, but I missed kippers for breakfast!

The young, evening bar staff were very friendly and cheerful
The evening meal was appalling- could have popped to Tesco and picked up a better quality of frozen food. The paragraph in the room info book - headed “Damages & breakages “ with the final sentence-“ additionally… extra charge for soiled bedding, towels, carpets, furnishings & decor” rather set the tone! We’re not fans of ordering breakfast before 9pm the previous evening especially as items were substituted without any explanation or apology at the breakfast table. I could go on but suffice to say that it was a very disappointing and expensive experience.

Good
Healthy bowl for breakfast too sweet, perhaps have three small pots with yoghurt, raspberry jus so person can add to taste
