We only had a brief one night stay on our way to Devon but enjoyed every minute of it - we ate in the restaurant and both loved our meals , both the venison and the mushroom pie were excellent , the only downside was that was so comfortable and quiet in our room that we slept in and didn’t have time for breakfast.
Next time for sure

Good service
Check in was fast. The room allocated to me was easily accessible and very spacious.
The plumbing system needs to be repaired. I found something floating in the wc when I first got into the room. Thought the housekeeping did not do a thorough job, but after I flushed the toilet, the floating objects kept reappearing. It was rather disgusting.
The hotel has a pub and food was good, service was great too.
