We stayed an extra 2 days due to bad weather and closed roads. Nothing was a problem and we were looked after very well. I don't usually write reviews but the people here really do go the extra mile and I've never had an experience like it before! :-)

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Yes, the room was clean and serviced when needed. Management were particularly friendly and personable. Liked the shower, plentiful hot water and containers of bath products rather than sachets. Excellent idea. The kitchen area was adequate. The suite was very roomy-nice. On the other side of the coin, the kitchen tap leaked quite a bit and the fridge made noises continually-rather spoilt the quiteness really. Just a pain.
