Fabulous food and dog friendly

Great last minute one night stay. The food for both dinner and the cooked breakfast the next morning was fantastic and we loved the post dinner drink sitting by the fire. All the rooms are dog friendly and they made our Vizsla feel very welcome with dog bowls, beds and treats all provided.

Nice little place, food was good, shower in room was excellent. Very small TV, and the bed was a little too soft for my liking. For a one night stay it was good.
