The room had good amenities and it was surprisingly quiet as our room faced the road. Breakfast times were really good and a good selection of choices. The evening meal was very generous, not sure if they changed the menu daily as we ate out the second night.

The room was spacious and had everything we needed. The fridge was a bonus. And our bathroom was huge with a large walk in shower and full sized bath. The toiletries were excellent. My other half has a new fav shower gel. The staff are also amazingly friendly and helpful. Breakfast was brilliant. We had one evening meal there which was fab. Would definitely return.

Great place to stay. All staff were welcoming and friendly. Very dog friendly and comfortable. A few dog rules but nothing out of ordinary - Easy to abide by. Car park to rear. Bedroom was clean and well equipped. Bed extremely comfortable. Breakfast choice good. Presented well and very tasty. We also had a very good experience of restaurant meal in the evening. Some wall/ floor areas in the place were knocked and marked but its a bar/restaurant so some wear and tear is expected from customer use. It certainly doesnt detract from the friendly, welcoming and good service that we experienced
