Have been to this hotel many times.My son and I use it as a base to tour the area. We take mountain bikes. The surrounding area is generally cycle friendly,especially the coastal routes. The staff always are eager to please, friendly ,and helpful. Rooms are clean,tidy functional, and quiet. Beds are comfortable. The hotel is popular for weddings,and on a... more

I went for a relaxing and peaceful midweek break and that's just what I got. The staff were friendly, polite and not intrusive. The cleanliness was much improved from my last visit four months ago. The food has improved, with plenty of choice and they had no problem doing small portions. Much more organised made more apparent by the new... more

It was nice to see that its being taken in hand. A nice warm welcome and good food with a wide choice. Service was a little slow but made up for by the helpfulness. It was also nice to be shown all the future referbs thay have going on. The only way is up for them. Well done ! I... more

A beautiful setting with real potential but the hotel is shabby and has been neglected. The food was drab and service slow. It is exactly the sort of place you see on Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares where the staff have no pride or enthusiasm in their work.

Was quite alarmed when I read the reviews on here after I had had booked! So I was quite anxious about the weekend stay. However, we had a wonderful experience. I can report that the much maligned driveway is now repaired and pothole free. The building is beautiful and full of character with oak panelled great room and huge fireplace.... more

We booked a table for 1pm. and arrived punctually. We were told to sit in the small bar area and someone would collect our drinks order. The bar was a few... more

We spent 4 nights in late July in this beautiful building. The grounds are fantastic, peace and tranquility, with beautiful mature trees and the river running through where we regularly watched fish jumping during the early evening. The hotel itself, although clearly old, is generally well cared for and the rooms were comfortable. Our experiences in the restaurant were, unfortunately,... more

I came to the Hotel in special circumstances for a Folk Music Summer School for five nights. This made special demands on the staff, with people staying in the building all day playing and singing, and being joined by an equal number of guests who were lodged elsewhere. In spite of the extra work almost all the staff were helpful... more

Recently stayed here on a 2 night break. When we got there up the long bumpy drive we went to check in . The receptionist must of thought we had stayed here before as looked gone out at us when he handed the keys to us and expected to know where the bedrooms were !! Very breif welcome and up... more
