The rooms are large and very comfortable.

Andrew Keates

Andrew K, Hertfordshire, stayed: September 2024

Great stay but small point re the biscuits supplied with the room tea /coffee which appeared to be somewhat frugal for a hotel of your standing..

Only one each was supplied on our first two nights and none on our 3rd and 4th nights !

Would have been nice having been out all day to have had a more adequate supply to accompany our
refreshments.
