Wonderful Historic Stay
convenient parking helpful staff delicious dishes
I appreciated the convenient car parking available behind the building. Front of house staff were helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Chefs made delicious dishes cooked to order, and table service was both timely and professional.
I noticed a lack of soundproofing between rooms. Noise from neighboring guests occasionally disturbed the otherwise peaceful atmosphere.
Location

The building offers a good location near the A1. Finding the hotel was easy, and it has proximity to key routes. The grounds present a flat car park that is out of view from the main road.

a decent stay
attentive staff great service noisy courtyard faulty shower
i found the staff in the bar quite attentive. the manager was also very helpful upon my arrival. she even found me a place to sit while checking if my room was ready. i thought this was a great service.
The room i stayed in overlooked the courtyard. I was often disturbed during the night. guests were sitting outside chatting loudly. it made it difficult to sleep well before a day of meetings. also, the shower sprayed water more from the back than the front, causing water to pool on the floor.

freshly cooked breakfast coffee bags excellent furnishings awful sleep wet floor inconsistent temperature
The breakfast was great. I especially liked that the brekkie was freshly cooked, not the usual buffet. I also appreciated the coffee bags in the room. I prefer a kettle and good quality coffee bag. The room and furnishings were excellent.
My awful night's sleep was not what I needed. The shower had more water coming out of the back than from the front. This made the floor very wet. It was difficult to get a consistent temperature of water in the shower. It was either too cold or too hot.

Excellent Stay
helpful manager heated floor
the staff at the bar were great. the manager on duty when i arrived on january 25, 2025, was helpful (found me a seat while my room was prepared). the room was large and warm, so i adjusted the radiator. i appreciated the heated bathroom floor and easy access to the dog-friendly garden rooms.
connecting to the wifi took some time. i think this was because of the distance from the router. i used the wifi to see family.
