Very nice room. Comfy bed. TV reception not great but weather was poor so could be the reason. Room was cold but on searching found a heater in the wardrobe. Lovely staff and great food in the evening. Good breakfast and they accommodated us for an early breakfast as we had a 6 hour drive home and wanted to leave early.

Nice place to stay

Really nice place to stay. Comfortable bed and nice and clean. Some aspects of the decor were a little dated but it didn't affect anything. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. The food was good but a little more variety of choice both in the breakfast and evening menu's would have been nice. Overall though, no complaints.

Hosts could not have been any more friendly and helpful. Room & towels etc were clean. Dinner and breakfast was good and fairly priced. Parts of the room are starting to show their age but Notting that put me off. I would definitely use again. Thanks for a comfortable and convenient stay.
