Would not stay there again. Awful room. Had an iron burn on the carpet. Thin blanket was too thin, meaning we were cold at night. Flat pillows. Bathroom was tiny, not like that in the pictures. Felt like student accommodation. Asked for VIP £10 that was in our booking, was not accommodated on arrival and only said you can have £10 off at breakfast. We wanted al a carte, and did not want to be paying for a mediocre breakfast buffet after first impressions of the room.
Just incredible. Such a beautiful building with kind, attentive staff in beautiful surroundings. Felt like a real treat! Sitting in the garden one morning was such a sensory treat.
Nice hotel, bit dated but the rooms were nice, clean and cosy. I just booked an overnight stay (no breakfast). It was a 1/2 drive though to Thornhill park and ride.
Great stay - Quick check-in - Good shower - Amazing food although only serve till 8pm - Very comfy bed - They didn't tell me this place was haunted though! - Need better coffee in the rooms - A good quality coffee bag is always a nice surprise - But overall I was happy with my stay!
Would recommend. Electric car charging is advertised as free. It is in that you don’t pay hotel but charging pod does charge. No problem as I was surprised when it advertised it as free.

Liked: Staff & service
Good service, room cleaning very good. Food was excellent...
The £10 voucher towards food etc was non existent on arrival… I were far too tired to argue about it.
£23 for a breakfast is an utter joke unless it’s served by naked nuns
