The cost of room was inexpensive so we were unsure how nice it would be. We were pleasantly surprised. The hotel is in the countryside and comprises several blocks set across lawns around the original house (where reception and the bar is located) . It is used as a conference centre and also for general hotel stays. The reception staff were friendly and professional, and the dining room looked lovely with crisp white tablecloths though we did not use it. Our room no 7 was very clean as was the bathroom including plug holes, water was very hot, there was lovely smelling citrus soap, the sheets and towels were good, and the bed mattress and pillows were comfortable. The slim tv worked well, as did free wifi, the kettle was clean, looked new. We had double patio doors leading out onto the lawns where there were good quality wooden tables and chairs. The gardens were well maintained considering how much work there must be. So while some reviews might suggest this hotel needs updating, we thought this was excellent value, had a comfortable stay and would stay there again.
