Suzanne Green We have just had a fabulous couple of nights at this wonderful hotel. The rooms are not too luxurious. The furniture and pictures on the wall are outdated and there are places where carpets are worn and walls need repainting. However the beds are extremely comfortable and the rooms are extremely clean. What makes this hotel so special (other than its age and location) is the people working in it. It is a Greene King chain but it feels like a family run hotel. Every person we met was charming, helpful and it made the whole stay so pleasurable. The other thing that was incredible was the quality of food. We rarely eat in the same place for two nights in a row but the first night was so good, we had to go back to experience some more of the chefs food. The second night was as fabulous as the first. The breakfast was outstanding too with an excellent cooked breakfast, delicious pastries and range of fresh fruit, cereals and teas. We are talking about taking our grown up children back there again soon as we were so impressed.
