Meals were superb, with an impressively varied menu. Helpful, friendly staff. Beautiful setting. Convenient to sites I wished to visit. Cozy pub.
There were none.

Reasonable breakfast.
Not a particularly friendly welcome. Felt like we were an inconvenience.
At a 4 star hotel we would expect the room to be cleaned and made up with clean towels each day. Here the only thing that was done was to replace the coffee cups and toilet roll. Bins were left unemptied, bed not made, no cleaning and damp towels unchanged.
We understood the hotel had a restaurant (again as you would expect from a 4 star). When we arrived we were told that the boss was away so we could only have bar snacks between 7 and 8.
Hotel was empty but rather than a room with a view we were given the one overlooking the car park (not the one we had booked).
Overheard waitress arguing with the cook. Sounded like it was about him dishing up breakfast using a dirty plate.
Bar was very uninviting in the evening. On the Sunday there were no other customers - just the barman/cook watching TV. Beer was awful.
Overall: Unfortunately a bit of a disappointment. Advertised as 4 star but really not up to it. Really just an average B&B. Not sure whether this is the normal standard or a case of "when the cats away". (108237609)
Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?
Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.
How do I add a rating?
Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.
All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.
How do you manage to collect so many ratings?
48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
