Have not stayed here for a few years, not a lot has changed, stilll amazing room, with walk in shower and huge, comfortable bed.
Plus some nice extra touches in the room with upmarket décor and mini fridge
The brasserie is not open Mon/Tues but the café offers evening meals that were fabulous.
Delicious, fresh and a great selection.

Gorgeous! Clean and comfortable room, excellent food at the pub. Check in was super smooth: very well organised. Loved the affordable mini-bar. The bath was divine. Would absolutely recommend.

Fantastic place to stay. The accommodation is made up of serval buildings each divided into separate accommodation areas. The bedroom was large and extremely well appointed. The bathroom was huge and offered a double stone bath and a massive walk-in shower. Everything has been thought out to the finest detail.
Where this hotel may not suit everyone is that it doesn't have a formal restaurant. However the cafe/coffee shop offers very nice home cooked food from breakfast, lunch and dinner and has extremely friendly and attentive staff.
I liked this hotel. It has character and offers something totally different to the usual accommodation box on offer.

Superb hotel tucked away from the main roads in a lovely location.
Pub/reataurant is excellent with wide choice of meals catering for all requirements.
Lovely rooms in old farmhouse (beautifully restored) or new build timber-clad courtyard.

Lovely hotel, beautiful well kept grounds, and a great bedroom with a large ensuite. Breakfast was freshly cooked, healthy and delicious in a lovely building. I would definitely use this hotel again when back in the area.
