A lovely hotel which has been owned by the same family for a long time. It has a lovely interior and rooms. Staff were excellent and very friendly and helpful. It has a lovely spa area and pool etc. It also has a small outdoor pool and patio area. We stayed in the best suite and was well worth the money. Lots of clients come time after time and we will definitely stay again. A lovely atmosphere to the hotel with a lot of long standing staff.

My husband and myself received very poor service and food from this hotel today. The waitress/bar attendant was so unhelpful telling us that we could have a sandwich for lunch but were minutes too late for any accompanying chips and nothing else was available so my husband ordered the sandwich advertised as Ham and mustard which arrived as a slice of bread withone very thin piece of ham, one piece of lettuce and was covered in sliced tomato which my husband cannot eat.When he complained that this was not as advertised and was just a thin cheap sandwich the waitress just said right I'll tell the chef, she offered no apology and we were we were then charged £8 for this sandwich which was would cost pence to make. This is advertised as a 4☆hotel yet the food served wasnt even 1☆, the hotel staff should be ashamed to serve such poor quality food and treat customers in this way, we will not be visiting again.

Everything good people say about this hotel is true. We’ve been coming 25 years, sometimes with family, sometimes just the two of us, occasionally with friends. Everyone seems to be a repeat guest.  …

Absolutely fine looking hotel... and they must have spent some money on doing most of it up... but it was all just a bit hit and miss. …
