"First time in a Village hotel and have to say we were impressed. The reception was modern and the team at check in were very helpful and friendly. Missed the fact there was a charge for parking but, at £5 for 24 hours as a guest, it was not bad. The room was basic but clean and comfortable. As most hotels, USB-C charging was available but only at one side of the bed - why not put one at each side?!?! We had a swim in the pool (a bit fiddly to set up and was a concern there was a charge for use - but turned out there has been no charge so far!) and this was good. Never tried the outdoor heated pool but it seemed popular even though the air temp outside was single digits. The breakfast was excellent, with good choices and eggs cooked to order on request. We had a walk around the grounds in the morning which was a nice way to start the day (and walked off a bit of the breakfast too)."
