Lovely staff and a nice room but the bathroom was freezing and the heating gets switched off overnight so the room was really cold first thing in the morning. Dinner was lovely and breakfast was OK. I would definitely stay again but perhaps not in winter as it was quite uncomfortable waking up cold (and I don’t struggle with cooler temperatures).

Absolutely first class, great welcome from staff and the food was excellent- well done Chef. Room was spotlessly clean, comfortable bed and plenty of space.
Great selection of beers and a food menu with plenty of choices.

All the staff were very friendly and helpful, since I’m disabled. They helped me up and down the stairs and Owen put our luggage in our rental car. Hannah and Beth were also wonderful, with other help.
