This place is a little gem. Beautifully finished large room with great amenities, amazing bath and shower and comfy bed, great night sleep. Breakfast and lunch were fresh cooked and very tasty. Amazing staff and service. It’s just off the motorway, a short bus ride into Coventry and very reasonable rates. Highly recommended. Thanks Donna and team for a fantastic short stay.

I only went to the pub, I didn't stay. The new owners have done a lovely job upgrading the pub, the outside is vastly improved and it's nice to see the place busy. It would be nice if they had a more interesting bitter on than Doombar, but I understand it's not really an ale pub.

Basic family room- clean and everything we needed and expected. Staff were very friendly and compliments to the chef. Dinner and breakfast we couldn’t fault and cooked to just how we liked it. The grounds were tidy and had a lovely area to sit outside. The location was great and overall was a really lovely hotel to stay in.

We have been using this hotel for many years now, and recently it has acquired new ownership and to be perfectly honest they are doing a great job on every front. Some of the staff have been there for years and its great to meet them every time we return, we have just returned from our latest visit and this time had one of there newly refurbished rooms and it was super, well done to the whole team, see you soon.
