Extended our stay mainly due to the staff being so helpful and attentive. Some slight issues on the room on arrival were resolved instantly and staff could not be more helpful or apologetic. Room spotless, bathroom, towels etc. Room very comfortable. Parking extra but on site and spacious. Great location . Ate evening meal and a breakfast here and both wonderful. Would definitely stay here again.

I had to call and make inquiries about my booking. Destiny was brilliant with my issue and was still working when I checked in. She also sorted an evening meal reservation for my party. The meal was excellent. Breakfast was great and the staff in the dining room brilliant. We will be staying again.

Always an excellent stay, breakfast has a great choice whether you want healthy or a full English. Staff very friendly and helpful. The rooms are looking a little tired with scuffed furniture and marks on the sofa. However the bathroom was clean with nice fluffy towels. Good shower. Overall a pleasant stay.
