Bit Pricey but worth a look

Pub / restaurant/ hotel. Drinks/ plenty of choice. Food/ breakfast excellent cooked to order. Restaurant food/ good food well cooked not much choice on menu although some specials were offered. Rooms/ Clean basic, tea & coffee provided with kettle. Maid service every day WiFi not available in Rooms. We weren’t familiar with this part of the world and assumed this Hotel was in area with other similar venues, this wasn’t the case in fact it was pretty much isolated from other Pubs or shops. Overall it was a nice stay with pleasant, helpful and attentive staff.
