Location is great, the cottage dogs allowed is absolutely beautiful and comfortable. Good breakfast and dinner and staff very helpful.
United KingdomThe hotel was clean and comfortable. The food was good and staff were excellent. I booked this hotel as it is accessible for my disabled mum. She had no problems getting around. We hired the Tramper and went off round the forest for 4 hours. It was fantastic for her to have the opportunity to go out and explore the forest, it was thoroughly enjoyed by all of us.
United KingdomThe staff the facilities were superb. The bedroom was something else with a lovely four poster bed and steps to help you get onto the bed. Yes it was that big. The staff couldn’t do enough for us and made our stay so special
