Lovely short break
Exceptionally clean premises with friendly staff in a beautiful location with good parking. Room was well furnished and in good condition. The restaurant produced some very nice meals although it does appear to get very busy so I recommend an early booking. I would not hesitate to recommend this venue to anyone wanting a quality stay in this part of the country.

A really nice property with a buzzy bar and restaurant. The room was exceptional with a super comfy bed and good facilities. Nice that the large parking area was close to the rooms aswell for unloading. My room even had a small outside space with table and chairs. Restaurant menu was really good with some local dishes. Finally would like to say the girls running the restaurant were all very pleasant and attentive. Will be back

Loved it:) will definitely book again when I need
Very clean tidy rooms with pristine decor. Good location. Comfy king bed. Somewhat dark by the tea making area. These are very minor issues of an otherwise excellent room. Restaurant serves excellent food too!
Nice bathroom. Slippery tiles though. Door opens towards sink and kinda gets in the way.

This would have been an exceptional stay except for one thing and that is ; In the new wing of the property the sound proofing between the our room and the one above was non existent. We were on the ground floor enjoying a peaceful evening until the occupants arrived in the room above. They were not speaking unduly loudly yet we could hear every thing they were saying to each other.

Wow what a lovely place to stay and the food is very good aswell. Staff are so friendly and welcoming and service is great. Lots of parking but if i had to say one negative thing it would be the wifi, it was very slow and very hit or miss in areas, but overall what a great place
