The hotel is in a quiet rural area out of town. It would be beneficial if you have a car, but there is a good bus service and the bus stop is across the road from the hotel. When we were there the hotel was being renovated but we never found this a problem and everyone was very helpful, lovely staff.

Staff were very friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. The leisure facilities are fabulous and our children loved it. The roaring log fire was our favourite spot to sit and play a game or two.

Lovely welcome, great pool area and restaurant was nice. The rooms are huge and they have everything you need. The hotel is undergoing refurbishment which is desperately needed but the staff were brilliant and we felt very happy there. Location is good and the grounds are beautiful.

Comfortable stay for 2 nights, staff were lovely and room was perfect. We enjoyed using the pool both mornings and the bar had a good atmosphere on the nights.

Pros: Great location and the rooms were in very good condition. Server at dinner and breakfast beyond lovely, (but was absolutely rushed off her feet so drinks took a while).
Cons: Receptionist seemed to do the minimum e.g. She gave minimal information about pool, where there were no towels available and no staff anywhere. And no apologies for that when I went along to get towels (it's quite far between the two). Pool also hard to find/ not well signposted. Only downside of the room was significant mould behind shower door. Food on the more basic side in terms of hot breakfast. If the room was cheaper I'd be less fussed.
