The room was amazing with the most wonderful view too. A beautiful place. Should consider breakfast as a buffet for cereals and drinks, serve the rest to order if needs be, but not everything, we were missed out but it’s down to staff having too much to remember.

A wonderful stay

We have stayed here many times over the years. The remote old world atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. There is a lovely view and the grounds are well kept. The staff couldn’t be more helpful and friendly, the food is excellent. Highly recommended if you need to get away from it all.

Very pleasant, quiet, one-night stay. The most-comfortable super-king size bed ever, slept like a baby (not bad for an 72 yr old). Staff delightful, very responsive, all in all two very satisfied customers. (ps did mention a couple of minor issues which desk staff took note of.)

Lovely hotel & brilliant staff

Alway love to stay at this hotel. Fabulous staff, Richard & Emma are brilliant. Unfortunately I won’t be back and loved staying here. Thought £25 for breakfast was ridiculous considering I only had a coffee and scrambled eggs on both days and I asked for a child’s portion as don’t eat much in the morning. I normally book B&B, but must have missed it on Hotels.com this time. Maybe a paid menu for breakfast would tempt me back, but not the way it stands unfortunately.

Turned up at 20:15 after a 13 hour day looking forward to a late dinner but the kitchen was closed! No information telling me this restriction, only an email from the hotel encouraging me to book a table in the restuarant. Staff helped where they could and were great but I had to phone a take away delivery which didn't arrive until another hour later.
