Beautiful old inn and restaurant. Requested a level floor room and stayed in the converted "stables" - felt like a little cottage! Great atmosphere, great breakfast spread and enjoyed dinners in the restaurant. Overall - if you need to be in this area - stay here. Staff were great!

Terralee

Booked for a little weekend away as a birthday treat, hotel itself was lovely, staff were friendly, room was clean, bed was comfy, lovely shower facilities with great water pressure and hot water. Continental breakfast is good for convenience and quickness however would be absolutely 10/10 if there was a proper breakfast included. Other than that lovely location, close drive to view prints. Definitely will re visit and recommended to others.

Great return visit
This was our second stay at this hotel. We booked again as we were so impressed with our first stay. They have lovely rooms, good parking and a good selection of food. All staff were pleasant and it was in a great location for the Tank museum which was the reason we stayed here. We will book to stay here again.
