    Every at this hotel whilst good, could be better. The food is very good and I would recommend it, however the wine list is terrible. Really poor quality wines, clearly sourced from one company that’s being low grade wines. They seriously need to address this as it’s bringing down everything else. Beers were not much better!

    No remote for the TV and the tv buttons didn't work that well either. Time for a new one I feel. Toilet paper roll holder behind the toilet so makes it hard to use unless your a contortionist. Shower head holder useless as the head drops and the water sprays on the back wall so had to jam the bath plug behind it. Small issues but just distract from what is a very nice place to stay.

    Great location and price. Staff were very helpful. Rooms were clean and tidy. Excellent breakfast. Good off street parking.

    The only option for evening meal was an expensive "tasting plate", no other choice available, not what one hoped for after a long journey. Upstairs our room was a disapointment. A beautiful old building with an ultra modern room. Cold hard composite flooring, maybe easy to keep clean but cold and harsh with no rugs. All the furniture was mirrored glass, dressing table, bedside tables, wardrobe, even picture frame and tissue box! Sadly the TV wouldn't swivel on its stand to face the bed - where else to sit and watch it - so picture was slightly blurred. Also there was only one bedside reading light, not helpful in a double room. The bathroom was clean and modern but the wash basin was so high even my 6ft husband found it awkward. And the kettle wouldn't fit under the tap to be filled! I feel maybe it just wasn't in keeping with the beautiful old building and perhaps the management should try spending a night there as if they were a guest.

    The ground floor was cosy and breakfast was very good, served by friendly staff. The bedroom was warm and clean.

    The location was good for us as we were working 3 miles away. The food was fantastic. It exceeded our expectations. every course was superb, great presentation, great quality products, decent portion sizes. it was real treat for us. even the scrambled eggs in the morning we bang on. Thanks to the chef and the staff for making us so welcome. Will definitely staff again if in the area.

    Bed was very uncomfortable and creaky. Bruised legs from wooden foot of bed and spring mattress ruined both our backs. Took over an hour to fill the tub for a bath. The bedroom heater made constant noise. Pillows were so flat they were basically non existent.

    Staff were fantastic. Very friendly and helpful. Food was amazing. Very nice dining area.

    The only downside for me was the desk in the room was very poorly lit and made it difficult to work on, but moving all the table lamps helped.

    My room in the annex to the hotel was very comfortable if somewhat 'individually' styled. The bed was very comfortable, and the room was nicely appointed. The dinner in the restaurant in the evening was delicious and the breakfast was very nice as well.

    Breakfast was adequate not as good as we would have expected in a venue well recognised; ok but not exceptional. Storage space in the room was inadequate and beds described as large double certainly were not that.

    Tasteful decor

    A bit tired decore in room. Plug in sink didn't work, but fixed as soon as we said. Restaurant dinner menu a bit fancy for the type of accommodation, consequently empty. Would suggest an additional plainer menu more suited to type of guest. Cottage pie, steak and ale pie, lasagne, chicken and chips.

    Easy to find with a restaurant on site. Clean, warm, and comfortable. Lovely welcoming staff.
