My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable, with spacious and comfortable rooms that had a lovely view of the garden. The service was excellent, especially thanks to Ollie, our polite waiter. However, the location was a bit noisy being next to a busy railway line, and the dining experience could have been improved with more variety in the meals. Overall, it offered good value for money.
