    Both rooms were very cold on arrival and it took a while to warm them up with additional heaters provided. We do, however, appreciate, that a well-functioning central heating system in such an old and large building is going to be problematic. As lovely and quiet as Fred, the owners' dog, was, I think a warning about a dog on the premises should be issued, considering a lot of information was sent in advance about various dos and don'ts, e.g. a fine for having your own food or drink in the rooms.

    Excellent food, both at breakfast and dinner, which exceeded our expectations. A very welcoming host. Lovely views and a convenient location for our journey, just off the main roads. Very quiet. Excellent wi-fi, a very good shower. Tea/coffee tray and an extra blanket were provided. Atmospheric all round as the hotel is in an old school house. Excellent value for money.

    The Meal setting although a surprise worked well for us. The TV in the bedroom could have been bigger but we were not there to watch TV.

    The welcome was very pleasant and extremely helpful. The Room was comfortable. The evening meal that we had was really good and although served to us in the Foye and not in an expected Restaurant it was very nice

    A little bit chilly in the room if you weren't moving about. Apart from that we had a lovely stay.

    Warm welcome, good location. Excellent food, clean room. We will be back next year when the weather is a bit warmer. A big thumbs up

    It's not a dislike really but I feel foyer where we sat for an evening drink could do with a little more atmosphere but I understand that having that space was an unexpected added extra which saved us leaving for somewhere else for a nighttime tipple before bed. It's nice to have the option to eat breakfast there though

    Lovely comfortable room and an excellent breakfast. The hosts, including furry host Fred, were extremely welcoming. It's in a beautiful setting which we didn't have time to explore this time

    Now i realy loved this hotel so please see these as more unfortunate points than actual complaints, I had issues with the the shower the evening of our stay, but it was absolutely fine in the morning, so frustrating but not a huge issue(I just had a bath instead) and my partner had a hair in her food in the morning, again I say these are more unfortunate than actual bad points as they could have happened anywhere and the hotel was other lovely and clean etc and would definitely stay again!

    I loved the look of the building and slightly old worldish feel to it, the feeling of seclusion and the friendly staff(Karen) who was more than accommodating, friendly and absolutely charming with every interaction we had!

    The pillows were not comfortable in the room... i didnt sleep well because of that and was a lil cold as main radiator seemed to not work... there were hairs on the walls in the bathroom...but the place was clean so found that abit strange..the menu is very expensive so meant we ate out instead...theres rules about rubbish and not allowed to take ur own food and drink into your room from outside the hotel...but sorry karen we did take our own drinks in as after 9pm i was really thirsty...its a shame really as the place does have alot of potential

    Loved the quirkiness of the place...Karen was a lovely lady

    The building is very old and as such has a slight smell of dampness. Bedding could also do with an upgrade. An air freshener would benefit/help make the room feel more comfortable but I will stay again when in the area.

    Having a plant based option for breakfast could replace both vegetarian and give a vegan option.

    Bed was comfortable, host was fantastic.
