Wonderful hotel. We had a lovely big room with really nice bathroom which we've found is always the room which often is a bit tatty in other hotels. We had our labrador with us and staff spoilt her rotten. Great location for going off for the day. Breakfasts superb, cooked to order. Staff were really nice and helpful. Felt like leaving friends when we left.

We had a comfortable stay for one night. The room was spacious and though we were near a busy road the double glazing blocked out any noise. The beds were comfortable and the shower had good pressure. We also had a hearty breakfast which set us up for the drive ahead.

Lovely overnight stay prior to leaving for the airport the next morning. Wonderful staff, lovely "small" but comfy room for 2. Dinner in the bar/restaurant was wonderful and Connor was great- with meal recommendations and helping us settle into our rom for the night.
