Big, clean comfortable room, ideal for a family of 4. Staff were excellent and food at dinner and breakfast were really good - a good step up from standard pub food. Home made cookies, and crayons and activity sheets for the kids in the room were a lovely addition.

Comfortable stay in a decent sized room with lovely coffee! Food was good and staff friendly. My only criticism was that the bathroom needs renovation. Had a shower curtain,which you dont ecpect now, and a bit tired looking around bath/ shower.

Was there for 3 nights, the staff were incredibly helpful and professional. The breakfast was good, the only downside I felt is the breakfast timing. It starts only by 8:00, but they're are happy to pack you something if you let them know in advance.
