The cosy cabin we stayed in had everything we needed for an overnight stay. It was clean and very comfortable. Excellent provision for a morning drink, with good quality tea, coffee, and biscuits options, best choice we've seen for years. The location was quiet and peaceful, yet only a short distance from all major routes.

Nothing to dislike.

"Very disappointing"

2.0

Although set in beautiful English countryside, with helpful & efficient bar and waiting staff, we were very disappointed with our stay. Our room was clean & well appointed, but the soundproofing left much to be desired. Both nights of our stay were disturbed by very noisy guests who woke us up & kept us awake for hours. The most disappointing thing of all was the lack of interest or sympathy when we reported this on two separate occasions during our stay.
