"Everything about this hotel is excellent. The staff are super friendly and helpful whether they’re on reception, the room cleaners, or brassiere staff. Comfortable beds and great views across the hotel grounds. My only tiny gripe was at breakfast when, even though the menu says that cooked breakfast is cooked to order unless it is particularly busy ( which it wasn’t when I was there as there were only about 8 people having breakfast), the bacon had obviously been pre-cooked and stood under a hot lamp for too long so that it was hard and rubbery. A shame as it was top class bacon. That aside, everything else was just about perfect. "

"A surprise treat for my husbands 40th and I couldn’t fault the hotel or their staff. We had the most amazing time and the rooms were absolutely stunning. Food was incredible and staff were so thoughtful and warming thank you so much "

"Good stay here again - breakfast was hotter this time which was appreciated. Room comfortable and shower was good. I don't appreciate being charged £8 for parking which was previously free, but overall it's still an OK hotel for a business one-nighter."

"Staff were excellent. Very attentive & helpful. Hotel was very comfortable & well maintained. Finding hitel car oark was a little difficult so a sign at the front of the hotel on main road would be really helpful"

"We had a very nice overnight stay. The hotel decor was welcoming, warm and bright, and all staff were friendly and professional. The beds were fresh, clean and comfortable and the bathroom was very clean. The shower was powerful and hot and there were toiletries provided if needed. We brought our own hairdryer and there didn't appear to be one provided in the room. The heating was efficient and easily adjusted. There was a large selection at the continental breakfast buffet, and the cooked breakfast was hot and fresh, with good quality bacon and sausages. Our only slight criticism was that the breakfast tables were painted wood with no covering and did not appear as clean as they could be. Tea/coffee stains on the table tops and dust in the grooves around the edges detracted from the otherwise lovely, bright breakfast room. The paper menus were also food/drink stained and could easily be replaced. Overall we thought The Dragonfly was a great, reasonably priced hotel for our overnight stay and we would stay there again. "
