The place was easy to find and well sign posted tonthe reception area. I was greetwd by a lovely lady who showed me to my room and explained everything from breakfast time, the WiFi password to the adjustment of the temperature. The room was beautifully arranged and decorated with a separate entry hall, cupboard, large bathroom, which was stocked with complimentary hair and body wash. The outside/courtyard area for thw guests was well maintained and looked like a lovely place to sit in the summer. The food at the restaurant was well prepared and presented. I can recommend their seasoned fries! I was really impressed by all of the staff here, the level of service and just how well the rooms were set out and maintained. It was a very peaceful and pleasurable stay.

Had a meal with family in the evening & can definitely recomnend eating here - food is excellent, using local ingredients. Had bacon rolls to takeaway on checkout, which was a nice surprise.
