It is always good to re-visit a hotel and find that its standards have not declined overall. This is one such establishment. Over the years it has been a favourite haunt of our family and we recently spent a very brief stay there at half term. We were not disappointed.

Booked here for valentines break with husband and upon arriving was worried I'd made a bad choice as the exterior of the hotel looked shockingly old fashioned and shabby.However any fears were quickly dissipated as soon as we entered, it seemed like a different hotel! Beautiful wooden floors and decor, warm, inviting open fires and comfy spacious seating areas, where... More

The hotel was very welcoming, and other than a... More

Hotel and staff very welcoming. Room was comfortable and warm in the depths of winter. Breakfast was good and was served in very pleasant surroundings with roaring log fires in all Public Rooms. More

The hotel is very noisy the bedroom door handles do not turn from the outside so the doors slam shut all night. The rooms are hot or cold. I stayed for two nights and placed my towels in the bath so I would get new towels only to find them back on the towel rail, the bed had not been... More
