omg what a gem of a place....
from first contact to leaving was amazing 🤩 staff so polite and friendly very helpful and accommodating for our needs as a family.....2 adults and 3under 5s

after being let down last minute for accommodation else were for a local wedding I called The Noel they had a family room available for when we required.. Kevin was great and then spoke with his college ginette who finalized all the details a few days before staying.

It was very spacious and was able to accommodate our 2 travel cots with still plenty of room..

we also met other family members for food (13 in total) for light bites before attending the wedding. One of which who had major allergies and were fully accommodated for. The chef couldn't do enough for us.

brekkie is amazing I'll share the pictures such a lovely and proper way to finish a fabulous stay.

everyone honestly couldn't do enough for us and would definitely be returning in the future

A friendly welcome and an excellent meal. The food was well presented and beautifully cooked . I can recommend the home made steak and kidney pie served with plenty of fresh seasonal vegetables.

It was clean & had a comfortable bed but, curtains were hanging on with string which made it difficult to open/close. It did have tea/coffee making facilities but no biscuits. No drinking glasses for water.
We went down for breakfast and the chef had a day off & there was one poor guy in his own serving breakfast so after reading a pretty good breakfast menu the only thing we could have was an English breakfast or toast, but I’m not sure if it was freshly cooked, the bacon was very crisp! On the whole it was a pleasant stay but just needs a bit more!!!
