Nice place with lovely staff, questionable heating

A lovely pub & hotel with good food and very attentive staff. The room was recently refurbished and was very comfortable. The only negative was that the room was cold. I raised this with reception who said they would press the boost? The heating came on for a bit and then went off again. Again I spoke to reception (I’m not particularly fussy but my hands were actually cold) and they repeated that someone will press the boost. Not ideal on a cold night. Breakfast was lovely though.

Great staff and a good breakfast.

An EV charger would be beneficial. Staff are pleasant and breakfast was great. Nice rooms with slightly dodgy water pressure on the shower but not bad. Really comfy bed and would definitely recommend.

A lovely hotel but needs a better heating system

This is the second time I have started here with the last time being in the Summer. As last time, the staff were great and the food is spot on - especially breakfast. Be warned, breakfast portions are big! The only negatives are that there should be at least a bottle of water in the room but more of an issue was the the room heating is switched off centrally somewhere around 9:30pm. I was still doing some work at the desk and the room when pretty cold quite quickly. I appreciate the cost management but had my wife been staying, it would not have been acceptable. I will stay again and do recommend this lovely hotel but be aware of the heating situation through the winter.
