Seated in the hall, zero atmosphere, too spaced out, which isn't a usual complaint. Service not the best, not offered starters, drink were wrong. Food was reasonable. Nice and clean place however. Sadly wouldnt recommend or be back.

Very friendly countryside hotel. Very clean. Room is well provided for, room decor fine. Excellent bathroom. |Breakfast was beautifully cooked. Doesn't have a lift but otherwise really great place to stay.|Wed only the one night scheduled but it would make a fine base for a longer trip to explore the NE.

I only needed a single room so wasn't concerned that it would be small, but there was still a small double there. Ensuite was small but totally functional, with a walk in shower. Everything was IMMACULATE! …
