Having read recent reviews we were unsure what kind of welcome we would receive as we were on the infamous KGB deal and have to say that I have to concur with previous reviews. Ann does have a major problem with people on this deal as she spent the first ten minutes moaning about it and saying she would be... More

Booked through a KGB deal for 6th and 7th March. Hotel looks great from outside and in nice grounds but it goes downhill from there. There is no-one around the hotel till 3pm for check in. We turned up at 2.50 p.m my 7 month pregnant partner was told by the Scottish fella that check in not till 3.pm and... More

Friendly staff, very accommodating, homely feel about the place, furniture and decor very dated but bed very comfortable, large rooms, warm showers, nice and quiet so got 2 great night sleeps. Hotel has a quirky little bar which closes at 10pm but staff will keep open until 11pm at your request. Breakfast was nothing special (very small fried sausage and... More

My wife and I booked a KGB break for 4th and 5th March. Sometime after having booked I read some trip advisor reviews and wondered if I had made a mistake.

Just returned from break using KGB voucher. Ann was welcoming and helpful, the room was pleasant and what you would expect for a hotel of its rating. In the evening we saw Badgers and the atmosphere in the lounge whilst `Badger watching` was fun with several couples all gathered around the viewing window. We often stay in full service hotels...

Our daughters booked our two night stay as a surprise present for our anniversary on a KGB deal. We had read a few earlier questionable Trip Adviser reviews where some guests had not been too happy but actually we were made very welcome and found Ann to be a very friendly, hard working, caring host and we were looked after...

After looking at the reviews we weren't expecting much but was pleased when we arrived in reception and the warm fire greated us and friendly staff. We were checked in amd shown where everything was and to our room by staff. Our room was clean and comfy and that's all we were hoping for! We went into a bistro to... More
