Certain things unavailable for breakfast but overall very nice and the coffee from the machine was great. Clean room. Great bathroom and they gave us a room specifically with a bath which was lovely of them. Lovely grounds and very good parking which is free. 20 minute walk to town. I’d definitely stay again.

Convenient location and easy access, room comfortable and clean. Reception changed our rooms to ground floor on request at arrival, as allocated rooms were not easily accessed, lots of stairs up and down and corridors. Breakfast ok on Saturday but not very hot, tea and coffee machine dispensing very weak and tasteless coffee and tea. Parking good, but quite along waln to reception.

Ok stay at the Dragonfly

Lovely hotel, just the room had no main light so it was a bit dark, also the shower was nice apart for the temperature control, it was either cold or hot just couldn’t get a happy medium. Breakfast the next morning was really good.
