Lovely premises with easy parking outside. We didn't need it, but our unit was modified for disabilty access. Could not access Wi-fi despite asking several times. Nobody could explain or correct. We'd not had problems anywhere else. Not much in town.

Not a ton of dining options around the area. Hotel food was good. For some reason we had no hot water in the morning.

Comfortable room, good shower, and very nice staff. Secure car parking accessed by room key card (so you have to check in first). Restaurant offers tasty food.
