We came to breakfast with Santa and we had the best experience! The welcome was amazing with people dressed as elves my children got so excited the minute we entered the place. We was shown to our table and was given our breakfast great portions and food was delicious. Father Christmas then came round to the tables to give the children there presents and had a chat the children really did believe he was the real deal even had mrs clause ! After breakfast we could then have a chat next to the fire with the big man and have some pictures. It was amazing from start to finish we had a party of 14 in

The hotel is unique and eclectic with the warmest of welcoming and friendliest staff. We got married here and every guest complemented the venue, staff, food, service, amenities and beautiful grounds. The wedding & events planner was always full of great cheer and excitement and the hotel owner was full of jubilation and outstanding support throughout planning and during the magical wedding. Thank you to Jason and Carlie from the bottoms of our hearts for making our requests come to fruition. The team as a whole are amazing and looked after us and our guests. Donna, Gill and Christpher welcomed

Love it here, great rooms they are a lovely size more like a self contained flat, the breakfast was a little expensive but we'll worth it, the staff were lovely and nothing was to much trouble. if you are on the ground floor then you can hear the people upstairs walking around and chatting so if you want a lay in be aware of this.

The beds are comfortable, the linen is good quality and the shower is powerful and hot. We ate here on one evening of our two evening stay and really enjoyed the food. Most importantly, the staff is excellent, friendly, accommodating and efficient. Nothing is too much trouble. The heating had not quite kicked in on this October evening and the room was a bit chilly. The heated towel rail was not in use and so towels (excellent quality) remained cold and damp. This issue was quickly resolved at Reception when new towels were forthcoming. We would not have expected this were our own towels dried

A three star hotel with a five star personality. Its a treat to stay at this wonderful place. If I could rate the staff six out of five I would. The food is wonderful and the owner Jason works along side his team to make you feel special. The rooms are very comfortable and the hotel is in such a wonderful setting. I am rarely in this part of the country but would not stay anywhere else when I am . Staying here feels like a holiday.
