No food served on Monday evening even though you stayed at the hotel

We had bedroom 9 it was small but perfectly fine the bed a good size and very comfortable a very nice big shower in the bathroom. The food at this pub was so very tasty some of the best sausages I have had in a long time. A really lovely breakfast. Amy who served us quite a lot was absolutely lovely and excellent.

I did feel it could have been a little tidier in places but really there was very little that I did not like.

It's a nice place, easy to find and with a car park. When we booked in we were asked what time we'd like breakfast to help staff be prepared at the right times. We were shown to our room despite the staff being so busy with a large party booking for food. We ate in the restaurant, where the service was efficient and the staff very friendly & helpful. The bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet.

The room was smaller than it appeared in the photos, although on the flipside it's actually nicer to have a kingsize bed in a smaller room than just a double bed. The weather had been unseasonably hot for a while before our stay but the room was stifling when we arrived despite low 20s outside. We opened the one window and left the bathroom extract fan running to get some cooler air in, but it was still very hot when we returned later so didn't get a great night's sleep. This isn't the first place we've stayed this summer where the windows have been kept shut no matter what - maybe the manager could check bedroom temperatures versus outdoor and decide when to leave windows open. We would have rated the staff 4 smiles except that the breakfast experience was the opposite of the previous evening. There was nobody to greet us despite standing around for a few minutes so another guest explained that there was somebody somewhere and where the self-serve cereal/fruit bar was. When the staff member appeared they were pleasant but didn't seem to have a grasp on who'd appeared at which table in what order - despite us being asked to give a breakfast time - so the couple on the next table to us (who'd arrived well before us) didn't get their cooked food until we'd near finished ours. Still none of the breakfast or hot drinks bar was explained to us. However, the cooked food was very nice and appeared quite quickly.

Beautiful place
