I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms and friendly staff. The breakfast was a bit limited, but overall a good experience. The location was convenient, although the Wi-Fi had an additional cost.

Rooms

8.0

The rooms were clean and comfortable, with a big flat TV. It would be cozier with a small sofa or 2 comfy chairs instead of the 2 chairs provided.

Service

9.0

The service was excellent, and the housekeeping was responsive to all our requests.

Location

7.0

The hotel is located behind the pub in the grounds, with clear instructions provided for key pickup as the pub closes early. It's a bit dodgy in the area, but that's not the hotel's fault.

Dining

The dining experience was good, with beautifully cooked fried eggs and a nice selection of Indian dishes. It would have been nice to have a continental breakfast option as well.
