cooked breakfast helpful staff
the breakfast offered a huge range of items for both continental and cooked options i found the service to be really good with meals coming out together the food quality was very nice. my room was equipped with a hairdryer and soap and shampoo i had everything i needed for my stay.
the entrance to the car park was quite narrow which required some maneuvering i noticed a few roadworks outside that added to the challenge.

fantastic carvery and lovely garden!
generous portion delicious meat various trimmings
I visited for sunday lunch and the carvery was fantastic. there were three meats available, and the portions were generous (i was so happy!). i also loved all the sauces and trimmings. There were as many roasties and yorkshires as i wanted. they even have children's options!
the room was slightly dated and could benefit from a small refurbishment.

Reasonable Stay
friendly staff fresh cookie large room unclear signage cheap shower head temperature control
The staff was friendly and helpful. They found us with fresh cookies each. The room was large, located in the courtyard. The bath was big and clean.
Finding my room was a bit challenging due to unclear signage. The shower head was a quick fix. The temperature control for the shower was difficult to move from hot to cooler. It resulted in a near scorch miss.
