"Incredible location and experience, nothing is too much trouble, the service from the staff is friendly and attentive, overall a fabulous experience."
"Solo trip with the dog. Very friendly easy check in and cute accommodation in an old stable yard.
When I was shown the room the main light didn't work but I said it didn't matter as the bedside and bathroom lights were fine.
Very convenient with the dog to nip out for a quick pee rather than walking through a hotel.
Car park small but parked ok and felt safe.
I left early for and no one was around yo check out so ended up leaving door unlocked and key inside.
Good value for money."
"The hotel was outstanding.
Rooms were beautifully decorated, staff efficient, good quality of food and drink.
Excellent location for walk into town and the race course.
Would definitely return.
