2 night stay

Just a 2 night stay. Small room with a small bath room. Plenty drawers and hangers enough plug sockets but no usb outlets. Breakfast is ok no more. Restaurant food is very very good and not silly prices. Overall we loved our stay small room but short of nothing with good but small shower. We will stay again but the restaurant is worth a visit

Great if you like a firm (Hard) bed.

Fantastic place to stay, great breakfast. My only issue was that the bed in room 19 is very hard. Room spotless and everything else about the stay 1st class.

The staff were very nice and helpful. Room and bathroom could do with a redecoration as it was quite run down. Lovely breakfast but I think the cost of the room was a little pricey for what it was.
