Excellent food and service with a really nice atmosphere. Room was spacious and clean. My only complaint would be the mattress was slightly too firm for me and my wifes liking. Will definitely stay again if in the area.

Great breakfast and helpful friendly staff.

Food was exceptional for both evening meal and breakfast and staff was on hand and very helpful and friendly to deal with during my stay. Rooms were of a very good and clean but of an average standard but would stay again just for the food.

A Perfect Stay

Our stay was perfect from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. The room was spacious, stylish and spotless. The bathroom was great. The staff who work here are so welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Everyone has a smile. We had an evening meal and breakfast and both were delicious. We couldn’t fault anything and will definitely be back very soon.
