Hotel was inviting and clean and staff were friendly and very helpful. Had a very nice evening meal there too and breakfast was great. Only slight negative was two very narrow single beds in our room.

The room was adequate, for an executive room it was dated, shabby and in the old part of the priory which was uneven.
The restaurant was pleasant and food was extremely tasty.
For the price it was a shame breakfast was not included but the offering was really good
The staff were amazing, really helpful, polite and could not do enaough for any guests.
I would possibly stay here again.
