This is our second stay, first time we stayed in the garden room it was absolutely lovely. This time it was occupied so we stayed in room 30 a double ensuite (never again) it was too small and the worst thing was the shower or should I say a lack of it ?. Impossible to control the heat and the water literally dribbled out. It was that bad. I had a shower around a relations house each day. Would we stay again only if we got the garden room?.

Been before and liked the hotel very much
Good place but the En-suite shower was terrible. No pressure and barely warm water in a shower that leaked water all over the floor. Kettle didn't work. Otherwise the booking was fine. Lovely staff. Breakfast was great

Pleasant area
No-one at desk on arrival. Room became very hot in the night and other rooms were not sound-proofed. Breakfast was satisfactory but not good (overcooked eggs on soggy toast; re-heated traditional English).
