Staff very friendly & welcoming. Lovely room with lovely views. Noise from fan on roof was a bit annoying as needed to keep windows open as it was very warm The greenish cushion covers on bed could do with a freshen up as the body odour from a male was quite obvious. The food was very good but portions are massive. Might be an option to offer a smaller portion. Apart from these small issues it was a good place to stay.

Room was good, however if staying again I would request garden view room as the road side room we were allocated can be noisy. The food is amazing both for main meals and breakfast. Staff are excellent, nothing too much trouble. Would I stay here a again? YES

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendly service. It’s a charming place to relax for a bit. The food was okay—not the highlight of the visit, but still a pleasant overall experience. Worth a stop if you’re in the area.
