Pleasant stay Food Amazing

Service was so good and the food was of high quality very tasty. Our room was ok at first cold but warmed up soon I asked. The bathroom was odd but tight for space so I felt the room was quite small for two people but honestly the staff made up for the lack of comfort.

Had an evening meal and overnight stay for hubby's birthday. Good food, friendly staff and welcoming for doggy. A good atmosphere and interaction with other guests who we discovered are regulars. A short pleasant walk into the village, though we arrived in the evening so it was very quiet.
