Restaurant was closed, poor bar and only a poor cereal style breakfast on a help yourself table situated in the corridor outside the rooms. When we stayed here a couple of years ago, the restaurant and bar were open and both good plus a full English breakfast was served, this what we expected this time.

No restaurant on site…

Make no bones this is not one for business travelers. No food on site. Plenty of local restaurants but your will have to drive. Breakfast is a cold continental. Staff are characters 👍

Unexpected

Very basic, breakfast was at the bottom of the stairs, cereal bread and little bit of fruit, had to eat in the bedroom ,bathroom was not up to standard, no staff to welcome me when i arrived, when the owner came in and checked my booking, he handed me the key for the building next door, wasn't impressed at all, i had a tent in my jeep and I was sorry that I didn't use it, never go back there.

On its website and on Expedia website it states “Two restaurants “ the fact is the restaurants closed in October 2023. Very disappointing as there are no restaurants within a mile. The accommodation is in an annex about 50 metres from the main building. We contacted Expedia for assistance and spoke for 54 minutes with a very helpful lady. As a gesture of good will for the inconvenience Expedia offered a refund of £51. We have not received any money from Expedia to date. At the hotel reception we insisted on a full refund due to misrepresentation of the services advertised on both websites.

We arrived at the advertised check-in time of 3.00pm to find an empty car park and a note on the door saying check-in started at 4pm. The room was ok but dated, there were cobwebs on the coving above the bed and on one lampshade. The included breakfast was a very poor 'continental' one. The restaurant at the property was closed, apparently the kitchens were not working. There seemed to be about 40 rooms, but just 4 rooms were occupied on the first night we were there (8.9.2024) and I think 7 or 8 the second. The only time we saw any staff was when we first checked in, keys had to be left in a bowl by the door on leaving.

I was asked at check in if I had eaten, because they don’t do food! I said no problem so long as the bar is open, to which she replied it’s not. I was then told that the hotel was up for sale and only running on a skeleton staff. I was then given a key for the annex as the main building was closed to customers. Breakfast I was told could be found under the stairs with milk, juice and yoghurts in a fridge! Once I got to my room the disappointment continued! The room smelled damp and musty which affected my breathing. The bathroom was terrible. Avoid this property like the plague. I actually booked another hotel and didn’t stay there!
