Could do with air con as unusually hot weather the little fan did little to keep the room cool. Excellent quiet location. Will def stay here again.

Friendly but professional reception staff. Very helpful. Good variety of food at the restaurant. Went the extra mile to alter a dish due to an allergy without being asked to. Also when they realised it was my birthday they came out and sang me Happy Birthday and popped a candle in my cheese platter. Really thoughtful and unexpected. Bedroom was lovely and very clean. Very quiet. Good shower and toiletries. Easy parking. Definitely would recommend.
