We arrived at the property to funds it was closed with no sign of life. The car car was empty and covered in weeds so I think it had been closed for a while.
We had to arrange other accommodation at 6pm in the evening at a cost of £100 and a further 40 min drive away.

A rather tired hotel
The hotel was well located but much in need of refurbishment. With major investment this hotel has potential but was expensive for the quality and service on offer.
The only good thing you can say is that it is relatively cheap.
Check in took an age, firstly they had given my room to someone else so had to sort another.
Secondly the person who checked me in was far more interested in his WhatsApp messages than dealing with me.
Next the room, whilst fairly spacious, was filthy. There was cigarette ash all over the seat in the room and the bathroom had at best been given a quick wipe down, which in times of Covid is not good enough.
At 21:30 when I was sitting at the desk in the room a member of staff (i'm assuming) unlocked and opened the door without knocking or warning and came in saying he had come to check the TV. This was disconcerting for me, and if I had been a single woman by myself I suspect this could have been very distressing.
This hotel has a lot of potential, but is so dated and the staff just don't seem to have much of an idea what is going on, and certainly lack any concept of privacy.
Avoid unless you are desperate.

sound proofing is terrible, when someone moves one floor up it sounds like someone is walking inside your room
Very convenient and comfortable. Very friendly and helpful staff. Terrific location--very enchanting and beautiful!

Okunnig personal.
Trevlig personal i restaurangen, men de hade total nollkoll, dukade inte av om man inte sade till, och lämnade drivor av avätna tallrikar efter sig på borden (Gå aldrig tomhänt!!!). Definitivt ingen restaurangskola i bakgrunden. Öl och vin serverades inte till maten, utan man fick gå till baren i en helt annan del av hotellet för att köpa själv. Den "dagliga städningen" uteblev, och därmed fylldes inte heller på av kaffe/te på rummet. Stor förvirring om vad som skulle betalas eller redan var betalt vid utcheckningen.
The whole place smelt terribly of damp. There was wallpaper peeling off the walls in the bedroom. Bathroom was clean but had a bad smell.
Went downstairs for dinner to be told they were not serving meals - and the nearest place to eat was 22 miles away. We found a beautiful wee hotel a couple of miles away - where we got a lovely dinner. (If they hadn't been fully booked, we'd have stayed there!)
When we got back, there were people eating in the dining room!!! Not happy to see that when we were told that meals were not being served!!!
Breakfast was okay, but have tasted better elsewhere.
The level of communication was awful. Not at all helpful. Won't be returning!
When I booked it was not clear as to whether breakfast was included. As vegetarians we were limited and had a very light breakfast. The £12 cost was far too high.
was for four nights quite comfortable hotel staff reliable a little difficult because they all appear to be eastern european so english is not always brillient, The room was good and came with all the usual comforts, food was poor and a bit expensive for quality but the hotel cater mainly to coach parties. Overall ok ,
Staff nice, friendly, competent. Get out for a walk locally & view picture postcard beauty up past the railway station. Fixed menu meal not great for families. Bed too hard, bathroom door width not accessible width, noise insulation between rooms insufficient. Need to link up a drink service with meal service. Apart from that the positive organisational culture is evident with high standards set and met for what is there.

Great value stay
We had a lovely stay.
The hotel does feel dated with orange sheets and green towels. But they are all clean.
Food is good and great value as is drink.
Will stop again as great value

The hotel rooms were clean but of older condition.
The service was under middle and not very professional. It is a pity only foreigners are running hotels these days!.
The surrounding area is pretty and they had a lot of flowers in their garden.
The food was fine but not much to choose from.
One night stay on motorcycle tour, clean fresh room, good food, good service, plenty of parking, quiet scenic area, ideal base, 10 out of 10 for our needs.
The room was comfortable, spacious and quiet, with a good bathroom. Breakfast was a little crowded as the buffet layout struggled with a coach party and the coffee was awful. At checkout I was asked to pay for the breakfasts and, when I said that I'd already paid via Expedia, was told I was wrong, only for a check to show that I was correct. The receipt given shows an amount less than what was paid to Expedia.
