After a long day we wanted to get a hot meal without having to go out again, we were told the kitchen wasn’t open, it would have nice to have been made aware of this as alternative plans would have been made. The rooms were comfortable, but noisy with doors banging as people arrived back late. Looks very tired and outside space requires improvement. The staff were very friendly and I understood to be new to the premises. Hopefully these concerns will be addressed

Advertised with room - cooked English breafast. Apparently no chef so was told when we checked in it will be a continental breakfast. Also as there was no chef there would be no evening meals for the rest of our stay. Continental breakfast was small variety pack cereals, yoghurt (just 2 available), 2 apples, 3 muffins (flies kept landing on these) & toast. Not what I would call Continental. The last morning there were some miniature pastries which were snapped up by foreign visitors.

The restaurant menus need revising as little choice unless you want something with chips and greasy ones at that! On the first night I ordered one of the couple of alternatives - belly pork. The whole dish was so bad I sent it back. The manageress said she hadn’t received any other complaints but two other tables complaining about the same dish! Needless to say we ate dinner at other restaurants.

The Management and staff were very welcoming.

The management and staff were very welcoming, the room was to a high standard of cleanliness, the bed was clean and comfortable. The only fault we could find was a limited menu and the non availability of a cooked breakfast. They have only recently taken over the establishment and have been left with a debt to pay from the previous proprietor. It is no longer a Green King, that was disappointing as I could of earn’t discount as a Blue light worker.

We had hiked 15 miles so we were just so pleased to get in and have a good shower and a comfy bed. Just as well we were already awake though as they were sawing up wood to make decking below our room window at 7.15 am…

The beds were wonderful, the room was larger than expected and the people were very nice. I look forward to seeing what this hotel will be like after it’s renovated and has beautiful hanging baskets outdoors. It definitely needs some TLC! Adding an espresso maker for good coffee would also be a plus hint hint ;-)
