Room was lovely. Good size for single occupancy. Food was first class.

Not sure my room had been hoovered as there was a lot of grass and some debris on the carpet.

The location

Whilst I accept the hotel allowing dogs to stay at the hotel I was disappointed that the hotel allows guests to leave their dogs in the room alone. We experienced a dog barking whilst left alone. We did report this to hotel staff and were informed they do allow dogs to be in the guests room alone. This is not detailed on the hotel website, this should be made clear.

On the whole an excellent stay, blessed with super weather

7.0

All was well except dinner on first evening was poor. I am told it was much better on the following day but we went elsewhere. Location & garden seating area are the main strength along with rooms and in our case the view.

See above, roast dinner was very poor, more £10.00 than almost £30.00. England losing in the semi final was a draw back .....
