Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests frequently mention the superb and perfectly cooked breakfast, often praising its great value at £7. Sky TV is a popular bonus in the rooms, which are generally found to be clean and tidy. The location, described as quite quaint by the stream and central to the town, is appreciated, although some have noted that parking can be a bit tight. Delicious food, both for the evening meal and breakfast, receives compliments, and the hotel offers a cosy, pub-like atmosphere.

ample entertainmentfreshly cooked mealsfriendly staffdelicious food
i was delighted to find sky tv in the room i stayed in it provided ample entertainment options during my downtime the breakfast was a real treat with freshly cooked meals available from a menu and not a buffet this ensured the food was high quality and delicious the staff were friendly chatty and helpful making me feel very welcome and valued as a guest the food both in the evening and at breakfast was delicious and plentiful showing the chef's skill and attention to detail.
the parking area was sometimes full because of patrons visiting the restaurant and bar which caused a small inconvenience when i arrived back at the hotel.
