Really nice building. Food and drink prices slightly above average Chair in my room was too low to use and it had a 'shabby chic' look but was too much shabby. TV in the room not all free view channels. Service in the pub could be a bit slow for how many people were there.

Amazing night, but...

Absolutely great place, working locally, everything 5stars, only downside was a fire alarm at 4am, faulty sensors apparently, and my amazing nights sleep was cut short. Would return for everything else though, food, room, and staff all great.

Highly recommended

I booked a couple of rooms here, one in the period part and one in the purpose built section. Both rooms were absolutely immaculate with everything provided that we could need. The service and care from staff was top end professional level hospitality, with particular thanks to Ronan and team
