This hotel has recently been renovated (in the last two years), so the rooms are fresh and have modern decor in a period building. The manager Alan is a great character! Just ask him a few questions and he'll have you entertained with amazing and ridiculous stories. The food is excellent, as I have mentioned before. It has a great... More

Booked a function room for a special birthday surprise party and couldnt have asked for a better service. There was no charge for use of the room and we were given a choice of menu's for the occasion. The table was laid out beautifully and the staff were very attentive with nothing too much trouble for them. The food was... More

I really don't know if this is the norm for this hotel as it was our 1st time eating there, but after our Christmas Day dinner we will not be back. We arrived at just before 2.30 and all seemed well, we were seated at a table for 8 despite being a party of 4 adults and 2 young children... More

On arrival at the hotel my colleague and I were greeted not only by the Manager (Allan) but by one of the regulars. They were both very entertaining and welcoming. The hotel is very clean and the staff cannot do enough for you. The food was also excellent - you MUST try the ribs (but be hungry!) or lamb shank... More

Stopped here on Halloween Night 2012 in room 6 (sadly no ghosts according to the manager who checked me in). Overall decor is recent and tasteful and parking is plentiful. Room very nicely fitted out with fairly new pine furniture, a sleigh bed (very comfy) and the bathroom had a very large walk in shower (1.5m or so) plus quality... More

We stayed over night following the concert in the forest, the room it'self was lovely, good size and a great bathroom. However the bin hadn't been changed from previous customers and the tea service tray we couldn't use due to the cups and spoons being dirty. Also in the morning we went down into the breakfast room, which was a... More

We stayed here as a group of three couples in three rooms. Booked for just under £100 a night for each room. (We were going to one of the concerts in the forest.) Check in was a friendly if not lengthy affair as the guy got to grips with two of the three couple checking in at the same time... More

We stayed here because of going to a Plan B concert held in the forest nearby. We were warmly greeted by the New Zealand manager and shown to the room - a very large room with high ceilings and three huge windows. The bed was a sleigh bed and there was a separate sofa. The shower room was also generous... More

Lovely hotel and excellent rooms with breakfast. However the bar and restaurant were nearly empty all weekend and so ate and drank elsewhere.

Stayed here for one night and whilst it was ok we would not stay again. The young lady who checked us in was very helpful, friendly and professional. We had the last available room which was clean and comfortable but that was all it was. The room had no dressing table or similar to put your bits and bobs on... More
