My luxe room included fresh milk and sweet treats! The personalized note was a very nice touch. The restaurant was also very classy. It made dinner and breakfast special.
There were only 14 parking spaces. It was a bit tight, though.

i loved the homemade cakes and sweets left as a welcome gift, what a lovely touch! The bed felt supremely comfortable. I also really loved the huge bathrooms complete with wonderfully fluffy towels.
the christmas dinner wasn't great. The serving contained one thin slice of turkey and one thin slice of ham. The portion of vegetables was similarly small.

Service Issues Impacted the Experience
slow servicehair soup
The service was slow. I asked for water three times before it came to the table. My main course arrived lukewarm. I also found a hair in my soup which was unpleasant. The staff apologized but the overall experience was affected.

the fancy room was indeed fancy with a separate shower and a freestanding bath it was like a real treat. i found lovely bramley products stocked in the bathroom which was a bonus. fresh milk and water was available in the fridge alongside tea coffee and an illy coffee machine so i could have a good cup in the morning. little sweet treats were a great touch it.
i found that the car park being directly outside the back could be a little noisy during peak hours though it was convenient

I was really looking forward to my meal here. Unfortunately, the food was not up to par. My dish was served lukewarm. The presentation was lackluster, and the flavors were rather bland. the service felt disorganized, and it was difficult to get the attention of the staff. I HOPE the management addresses these issues SOON.
