Reviewed Jun 12, 2026A very warm welcome to a beautiful location. The room was well equipped and comfortable with a pretty outlook. Beautifully cooked fish for dinner and a very good Full English breakfast with what looked like plenty of alternatives if you didn't want a cooked breakfast. Particularly good Cumberland sausages! A pleasant conservatory for relaxing after dinner, looking onto the garden and field beyond. Beautiful walks just straight out of the door.
Just a few minor maintenance jobs like the bathroom door not closing and a slightly noisy fan. The sort of thing which doesn't really affect your stay, but need fixing for next time. I let the receptionist know and she was very professional about it.

There’s a small garden area that we enjoyed for drinks outside when we arrived. Comfortable bar area and a lovely dining area. The cooked breakfast choice was only standard cooked English breakfast items, but there was fresh fruit and lovely yoghurt pots as well as various cereals
Our top floor room was very hot on the day we stayed. The curtains had been drawn to block out the sun, but as they’re unlined, it was still very warm. Fans were however provided in the room however to cool it down. A non slip bath mat would be useful as the bath was quite slippy when getting showered
