We stayed a night in the Lodge which is lovely - a real home from home with a very well equipped full kitchen! The only thing I can find fault with is the double bed mattress - it could do with being replaced, it had practically no support at all.

We have stayed at this hotel on numerous occasions and have always been delighted with everything. All the staff are welcoming and friendly and the breakfast is superb! One staff member in particular has always been most helpful is Sue, who is one of the members of the waiting staff team for breakfast - Sue always makes our stay that extra bit better with her fabulous service. We stayed for the first time on Saturday 6th November in The Cottage which is in the grounds of the hotel - it was excellent and for 4 persons a very good price with breakfast included. There's a kitchen (fully stocked)
