Fabulous - new management
Just stayed one night for my birthday and to explore the area. Really easy to find but out in the lovely quiet countryside. shops only 5 minute drive away. Really lovely friendly and informative welcome from Chris the general manager. Lovely clean accommodation and a fab beer garden to enjoy a drink. Breakfast in the morning was really good and all the staff were lovely. We were limited to a burger menu on Thursday evening but we were more than happy with the food we tried. Outside needed a little Tlc but the new manager has plans for this and are already doing great - I absolutely would stay again as its great for exploring that area.

Could have so easily been 10/10
The alarm bells should have been ringing when the day before the booking I was contacted by the hotel to tell me that there was an issue with the rooms and that they couldn't do any food. But the offer of being upgraded to a cottage seemed a good alternative which I accepted. It turns out that the cottage is currently the only accommodation available and after speaking to locals I found out why. The land owner purchased the lease off the hotel management team and in the 6 weeks since this has managed to run the business into the ground thanks mainly to sacking experienced staff, staff walkouts and having no business acumen. There is only 1 member of staff who does everything and has to break the news to people who have booked that there is no accommodation or food available. This poor lad made our weekend with his efforts to keep a sinking ship afloat and should a new management team get the lease he'll be a great asset. The locals are a great bunch if you get chance to talk to them in the bar but they don't appreciate how the place is being run into the ground.

Chilly, cold and freezing
Winter/early Spring clearly isn't the time of year to visit. The room was freezing and the heating didn't improve that situation much. I booked a room with a king-size bed (as I'm 6'4" and need the length), but my wife and I were provided a room with a double bed. The bar downstairs wasn't much warmer and there must have been some supply issues or something as there was a very limited menu. This place may be a lot better for an average visit, but I can't say much for mine and my wife's experience!
