clean room comfortable room large car park
the room was lovely, clean, warm, and so comfortable. i liked that the check-in was self-service, no messing around. the large, free car park was a plus, as were the beautiful grounds at the rear.
the bedroom was a little too warm. opening the window wasn't really an option given the noise from outside.

I found the staff helpful. They gave water and biscuits to my dog. The team assisted with forgotten items from the cottage. The gardens are great for dog walks.

acceptable experience
spacious room beautiful furniture contemporary bathroom painted window inadequate ventilation carpet holes
my room was spacious and beautifully furnished. it matched the hotel's regency style character. the en-suite bathroom was contemporary and the shower had plenty of hot water.
the bedroom window was painted shut, so the room felt very hot. there was no ventilation and a small tower fan proved inadequate. i noticed holes in the bedroom carpet.

The grounds were lovely and offered ample parking. I appreciate the key code check-in system. It was efficient. The room was clean and the grounds well-kept with a nice seating area. It looks to be very dog friendly too.
The room i stayed in was small. I noticed it was very cold. I didn't see any staff during my entire stay other than cleaners as i was leaving. One night, we didn't even have hot water.
