    lack of family amenities

    I loved the cute atmosphere and charming decor during our stay at the pub. The hearty meals we enjoyed, including an excellent Indian dish! The staff were genuinely friendly.

    My kids wished for better amenities for families. Perhaps a play area would make a huge difference.

    comfortable bed
    great value
    inconvenient distance
    noticeable noise
    limited amenities

    The warm welcome at reception set the tone for a pleasant stay. The room was excellently laid out, clean, and the bed was surprisingly comfortable. Dinner in the restaurant exceeded expectations, featuring delicious globally inspired dishes. Breakfast was plentiful and a great value. the distance from the main hotel could be inconvenient for some, and the lack of immediate access to some amenities was noticeable.

    room quality

    the view from our room was realy nice and we loved the grounds of the hotel, it was quite pretty n peaceful. the staff were relly friendly n helpful which made a big diff. the indian restaurant was amazin, we had a great meal there. also, breakfast was tasty and came out quick. overall, it felt like a nice cozy place.

    but the room was a let down, it was too noisy and we couldn’t get any sleep. also, it seems like the family room should have been for families not just us and a kid.

    The Indian restaurant on-site is a true gem, and the tikka burger was mouthwatering and flawless! The cozy atmosphere made our stay very enjoyable.

    affordable rates

    A Decent Stay with Room for Improvement

    We enjoyed a clean bathroom, but the room’s decor felt outdated. The car park was spacious and convenient. An early morning coffee at the onsite café was refreshing, though staff interactions could be improved for a more welcoming atmosphere. Consider staying for the affordable rates, but don’t expect luxury.

    Pleasant stay with fantastic Indian dining experience

    I found my stay here to be very enjoyable, especially with the Indian restaurant on-site that offered an amazing dining experience. The room I stayed in was comfortable and provided plenty of teas and coffees, and I appreciated the decent shower and well-kept grounds. some room decor could use minor updates.
