Horwood House Hotel

Horwood House Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Liked everything about the hotel. Keep on doing what you are doing. Only thing I would change is the menu was a little limited and if you didn’t much care for the food on the menu you are stuck. Also the walls were a little thin so all sounds carried I could hear people talking in the room next to me. Beds were really comfortable ."
