"We wanted a pet friendly hotel and boy, did we get it. Every member of staff treated our little pup like royalty. In the room there was a comfortable bed for her with a towel and 2 blankets along with some bowls but the piece de resistance was a the little bag containing poop bags, treats and a ball. We had a very satisfied little dog in the room but when she saw the outside greenery she was absolutely thrilled as were we. Unlike a lot of hotels where they claim to be dog friendly but then have a load of no go areas, this hotel really was. We arrived before booking in time so had the flat iron steak and frites for lunch followed by the Sticky Toffee Pudding and Banana waffle. All was beautifully cooked and the waitress was extremely careful to ensure that the way I was asking for my steak to be cooked as she was worried it would be compromised. We found the room to be comfortable and loved the Dyson fan. There was plenty of tea, coffee, fresh milk(!) and a little fridge. We had the breakfast in the morning. 10 out of 10 for the fresh fruit, a decent range of cereals and various other items on the Continental range. My husband had the Classic English Breakfast which he thoroughly enjoyed with its 2 sausage, 2 bacon, beans, tomato, poached egg, black pudding and toast whilst I had a very generous portion of smoked salmon with scrambled eggs on toast. If there was any criticism, it would be the toast was thin and dry. Everything else was great. "

"A lovely place to stay. Light and airy which was great after a long hot drive! Would highly recommend. "
