9.8/10 Exceptional! (95 reviews)
A truly comfortable and pampered stay. David and Tonny do not have to do any effort to make your stay feel unique as they have in themselves the art of hosting. Great attention to detail; nothing goes unnoticed, from the small shampoo bottles left open in the shower, and then carefully closed to the meticulously prepared deliciously cooked breakfast. Not a single thing out of place; not a single desire not catered for. David seems the one who does the cooking while Tonny the one serves the food, and prosecco! All works out in clockwork precision.

8.2/10 Very good! (213 reviews)
The hotel had some character. We booked car parking for £12 a night at the rear of the hotel, we did not expect to park on waste ground with a 75 yard walk to the back door. The room was small but OK. We booked a table for 7pm. in the restaurant when we arrived the room was empty and no sign of staff, we enquired in the bar to be told that meals were being served in the bar. We ordered drinks to have with the meal and were asked to pay for them, we said would they book it to our room, this seemed to cause a problem. The menu was very limited, it was nearly an hour before our meals arrived the food was good and the Waffles are well worth investigating. We paid for our meals because it appeared that they did not have system set up to add it to our room. We could not have a printed receipt but could have a text or e-mail. We were grateful we had only booked one night. We will not be rebooking, nor would we recommend it to anybody.
