The location suited my needs well. I also found the breakfast to be satisfactory. The staff members I encountered were polite and helpful! They went out of their way to assist me.
The hotel seemed a bit grubby in some areas. The carpets looked old, and some were being replaced, I noticed. Certain surfaces needed better cleaning. Doors and paintwork, in particular, needed attention.

my stay included a room in the main 17th-century house. the location was ideal for attending a family celebration at a nearby bowls club. the meals were good (i enjoyed the breakfast), and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay.
i noticed the carpets seemed tired and stained in some areas. it impacted the overall impression of the hotel negatively. i hope they address this soon.
