I stayed here recently for a work trip, from the whole it presents as a lovely and fresh hotel. However there are too many issues, of which I would never pay for if I was given the choice. 1. There is no air con in the building, which makes the room unbearably hot, leaving every guest asking for a fan which defeats any object of an ‘eco friendly hotel’ 2. The parking spaces are incredibly small and extortionate pricing 3. The restaurant is awful and far too overly priced. Walk 10 minutes to the pub for much better food with reasonable costs. 4. If you look at every reply to any of the reviews they have all been clearly generated by AI/Chat GPT, showing how little this hotel/company truly care about their customers. I would genuinely not recommend staying here if you have a choice

First impressions are wow what a beautiful hotel your reception staff were very welcoming and helpful on my arrival. So cheerful and chatty . I had my evening meal in the restaurant where the waiting staff were most helpful . I can highly recommend the Classic burger it was delicious 😋

Really like the eco awareness in the hotel, but this does lead to some issues. The quilts, which are far too thick (and, despite guests being advised to ask for lighter bedding, none is available) are very noisy. Also, those wanting a cuppa first thing have to go out and back in to their room, both with a bang! Went elsewhere for dinner, due to lack of dietary information on the menu, but breakfast was poor. Cold food, hard fruit and no fruit salad, alongside a really abrupt member of staff. Reception staff lovely. Loved sitting on the terrace.

Stayed in many hotels over the years but this has to be the cleanest and most comfortable to date. Staff were so friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble. Bed was huge pillows even bigger. Plenty of car parking spaces with an overflow car park too. Highly recommend

The hotel is lovely and the staff are friendly and helpful! Clean with a sustainable twist. I ate at the restaurant and the food was great with an open kitchen and outdoor area to enjoy the sun. Shout out to Mia on reception who was welcoming and an all round delight to deal with for my whole stay.

Great food had dinner and breakfast. Both were good quality and the breakfast in particular was great value when booked in advance. Large clean rooms, and we were able to fit the whole family into one as the king bed plus double sofa bed option worked great. All the staff were lovely to deal with, great to chat to and remembered the family. This is the second time we have stayed here and it was lovely to see some familiar faces. Declan in particular on the front desk was full of local knowledge and advice.
