Perfect location, just off the M6 for travelling further north. We only stayed 1 night but the service was excellent and a lovely area to walk the canal which was close by. The bar was lovely, meals excellent along with the staff. And perfect if you have a dog with you. Just can’t fault it

Brilliant staff
Most positive aspect of the hotel was the staff who were outstanding in every area of the hotel including reception, bar and restaurant. The rooms were a bit dated but in good condition, mattress was not the best. Food quality was good and both food and drink decent value. The location is really nice with a lake at the front and a canal to the back. Overall very pleased and would certainly stay again.

Lovely hotel and clean staff very helpful, the only thing I could say that it would have been nice to have the fires on as it was cold in the bar area when we were eating, the food was amazing and breakfast was lovely too

Disappointed with mobility facilities.
Booked restaurant for the Sunday night for a family reunion but when we arrived were told the restaurant was closed Sunday and Monday.
No quiet relaxing area due to library being used Saturday and Sunday
Definitely not 4 star.
Staff friendly and helpful.

Lovely break
Our room wash really nice, everything as expected. Unfortunately the occupants in the next room were shouting and making too much noise at 2am but the night team soon sorted that out. Food in the bar was very tasty and good value.
Will definitely stay again.

Nice place, friendly staff, slow breakfast
Good location, clean room and friendly staff. Breakfast service however is not that speedy, allow 35/45 minutes. I ordered a cooked breakfast but left before it arrived as I couldn’t wait any longer (single person table next to me received their breakfast even ordering after me). Mcdonalds breakfast for me!

Lovely and inviting hotel in lovely country surroundings. Had a superior room on ground level which was very clean and created a calming atmosphere.
The evening meal and breakfast were superb in the stunning conservatory area.
