Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is nestled in a lovely country village, offering a cozy atmosphere with friendly service and a comfortable stay. The rooms are clean and bright, equipped with all the essentials. However, the dining experience had minor limitations. The location is convenient for various nearby attractions, making it a great stopover spot.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, with friendly staff. The dining experience presents some limitations, but the pool area is well-kept and enjoyable. A decent option for a stay.
The hotel's location in a lovely country village was inviting, and the room, although comfy, could benefit from some redecorating. The friendly service throughout the stay was exceptional, although the hot nights made sleep challenging. The breakfast was really good, and the dining experience, although spot on, lacked a more hearty breakfast selection. The facilities were well-maintained, and it was an hour away from central London.
