I booked two rooms here for my sister and her friend, both in their 80's. I had previously stayed in Kilford and found it excellent. My sister & friend had a wonderful week here, they both said the staff were absolutely amazing and so helpful and friendly. They loved the food and ate at the hotel nearly every night. They said they would both give it 10/10 for comfort , value, food, and location

10/10 Exceptional

I just stayed there over the Aug Bank Holiday w end, the hotel was busy and lively with lots of music !! I was afraid it might go on very late and be v loud, in fairness I could not hear anything from my bedroom. The staff were very welcoming, the food at breakfast was plentiful and really fresh, which is not always the case with a buffet. The pub was big enough to accommodate all and the pint of Guinness was very good. The car park was convenient and secure. It was my first time staying there but will gladly book again. Thanks.
