Lovely hotel, comfortable room. Biscuits left for us with tea and coffee but one of the two packs had been eaten and the wrapper left! Wedding going on the night we stayed and loud music went on until midnight.

Nice hotel but haunted for sure
The hotel is very nice and the room was lovely. My only complaint was a noisy fridge in the room and bizzarre as.you may think, there was a ghostly pressence in my room which freaked me out slighy. If you like parranormal experiences, try room 202

Just a lovely little hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our stay here very much. Good food-we dined in on the night of our arrival-and a very good breakfast as well. The bed was lovely and super comfortable and we very much appreciated the towel warmer as the weather was super wet when we arrived. Would definitely recommend.
