"I wasn’t there for long but everything was great other than the lack of available parking"

"Room a bit dated, but functional. Bed comfy and good shower. No bottles of water provided which was disappointing. Also only basic range of tea and ciffee. More caffeine free drinks (green tea, fruit tea etc) would have been appreciated. Breakfast good. Wee version of full breakfast was perfect."

"Beautiful hotel and gardens with a bar and restaurant on-site. We had a lovely time wandering the grounds with a cocktail and even felt a bit like royalty. A breakfast buffet was included and had great options. The rooms are a little older and dated - it was hot in the room - because I don’t think we had a/c - but they were very clean and the beds were comfortable. (Make sure you check out the hotel museum in the basement - it’s really interesting!"

"Very clean and comfortable bed, nice bathroom, we were in the dorma room and thought it would be very stuffy and cramped because we had such hot weather that day but it was lovely and cool I'd say it was well insulated."

"Room was clean, food not great, didn't appreciate getting my drink in a plastic pint glass"

"Great breakfast and evening meal"

"Room could do with a lick of paint. Beds very comfortable had a great sleep. Breakfast brilliant and plenty of it. We had a bar meal on the second day,again the food was exceptional. Parking no problem. Staff very attentive. The hotel is a 10 minute walk off the main street, so wonderful and quiet. They have a large grassed area with benches within staggering distance of the bar. Perfect sun trap. Will definitely be back"

"Decent hotel for one night"

"Beautiful exterior and garden area, close to town. Unfortunately the 2nd floor room was hot enough to melt my recently purchased chocolate that was on the desk. Was about 80 to 85 degrees and there is no air-conditioning. The staff brought up a fan after multiple requests which we propped in the window that could only open about 6 inches. Contributing factors may have been the full hotel (and heat rising on a 60 degree day) or the exposed HOT to the touch pipe at the baseboards that went into the radiator (which was turned off). Rough night sleep where we debated sleeping in the lobby or going elsewhere about 10:30 PM."
