Great staff, food, and pool. Would stay again

Super friendly staff, accommodating, great food for both dinner and breakfast. Large room, plenty of towels, lots of choice for teas/coffee. The pool was lovely and warm, great for all ages. A few tiles were a little run down around the pool and windows were cloudy but this was minor. I would also advise descaler/filter for the kettle.

Englisches Landhotel

Ordentliches Hotel, etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Im Flur standen große Ventilatoren auf dem Teppichboden, warum auch immer. Die Betten waren okay, das Bad sauber. Nettes Personal, gutes Frühstück. Der Preis war sehr hoch.

6/10 Good

Nothing special

Hotel was quite tired and we were very disappointed by the fact that the bar wasnt open when we arrived, indeed it didnt open until around 18,30! It would have been nice to enjoy a glass of wine after driving for 5 hours, we also found that the towels were quite rough and didnt smell very pleasant

Steve, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Sets low expectations and fails to achieve them

Toilet not flushed, dirty towels hanging everywhere and lots of dead wasps on the window-sill. Spoke to reception - no apology or anything. Just told us to collect some towels when we next went past. Tired place but over-priced at £140. Really big room and v comfy bed though.
