The Farmhouse

Excellent room (Boxer) with the only complaint being that the bedside shelves were quite dirty - stained with drink rings. The room was large with a very large comfortable bed and the added bonus of sockets with USB ports each side of the bed. There was also a convenient lounge area with a TV and a large well equipped bathroom. I have reported before that it is a pity the breakfast offering at The Farmhouse is so limited and nothing has improved over the last year. Most hotels offer a breakfast bar with drinks, cereals and toast etc but to have only menu breakfasts served by staff and with a relatively slow service it is not conducive to those on a tight morning schedule. Added to that to have to pay extra for any drinks (tea, coffee and fruit juice etc) is pretty annoying. On the plus side the staff were helpful and friendly.

We stayed overnight including a couple of drinks in the bar and breakfast the following morning. Staff helpful and nice atmosphere. Tv in room didn’t work so had to report that. Guy came and said he thought the problem had been fixed but obviously hadn’t. A fire stick soon followed so all sorted but a bit of an unnecessary issue. Bed comfortable and big. Room slightly on the cold side. Shower temperature not hot enough and couldn’t go any higher via adjustment. Not great start to the day. Breakfast was very tasty however charging extra for hot drinks is ridiculous. Offer filter coffee and tea in a pot included in the breakfast price at the very least.

Not value for money There was no chef on in the evening so no food available on site. Couldn't turn subtitles off on tv. My shower was freezing cold in a so called Deluxe room and didn't heat up despite running for 15 minutes. Lady on check out was polite and gave me a free breakfast to compensate but I will not be staying again. Nowhere near value for money (£144 room only paid).
