Paper thin walls - prepare for no sleep.

Unfortunately I had virtually no sleep at the hotel as it was so noisy.The walls are paper thin, so you can hear everything from the room above too. Added to which the bathroom was in a "cupboard" so accessing it was ridiculously awkward. At 5am we gave up, drove home and went to bed.

The room was fine, old fashioned but worked for us to lay our head when we got back. We had an issue with keys (we accidentally left it in the room as we left and didn’t realise, so this then involved them trying about 100 keys in the lock to get in and then waking up the owner of the hotel and us being told “a very angry man is going to come in a minute to sort this out”, which made me feel very uncomfortable. it took almost an hour to sort out, which was a nightmare, and once we finally got to bed, we could hear the goings on in the next room until the very early hours of the next morning so barely slept. I probably wouldn’t stay again!

Fantastic location and very scenic and peaceful. There is plenty to do within driving distance, 10 mins or so and the food at the hotel was very good and reasonable priced. The spa is a must it’s a great addition to your stay and very relaxing and well worth the money. Highly recommended
