A grand hotel building set on a picturesque estate with very good parking. It is set quite of the beaten path and the lane leading to the car park area was quite bumpy, dirty and replete with potholes. The hotel is part of the Sure Collection which is Best Western's premier line. The décor was a little tired, especially the carpeting in the corridors, some of which seemed to have been cleaned but only on the main walkway areas. The room was nice and spacious as was the bathroom. The shower took a while to warm up but was enjoyable. Breakfast was the highlight of the stay with a friendly and enthusiastic member of staff who took my order for a cooked breakfast which was as well cooked as I have had for a very long time and got my day off to the best start.

We only stayed for one night as we were on route to Cornwall, the staff were very friendly, lovely and welcoming. We had the Sunday roast and the Gammon was amazing we had to speak to the chef to let him know! The hotel is situated in beautiful calming surroundings and wish we had more time here! The room was spotless and looked like the bathroom had been refurbished and had everything we needed. Breakfast also was plentiful and more than enough choices and good quality. Would definitely stay here again if we are in the area. Big thank you to everyone

Staff were lovely. Hotel really needs modernising and updating. The carpets were disgusting in the corridors. Upholstery needs cleaning. Shame as the location and the building itself is very good. Could be wonderful. Drive needs replacing.

The property was in a lovely quiet location with a wonderful view but this meant you had quite a distance of single track narrow roads to get to it. It was very warm when we stayed and unfortunately the menu in the restaurant was limited to quite heavy more wintery food and after we got served our food we didn’t see any staff so had we wanted a dessert or more drinks it would have been a problem.
