Hotel was located in a beautiful setting. There was ample free parking. Good choice of breakfast items. We also ate in the restaurant both evenings. The food was delicious. The bar area was cosy. Room was spacious with everything we required. We had to turn the radiators off though as room was far to hot for me. Not a bad point just personal preference, it was great to have the choice of hot or cold room though.
We had a dog friendly room and thought it was great my dog could accompany me in the dining room, which was spacious.

Stay excellent marred by dogs allowed in dining ro
This hotel was excellent in terms of customer service, comfortable bed, tasty menu - dinner and breakfast. The chef made my husband a delicious cake for his birthday.
We were surprised, and disappointed at the number of dogs allowed in the dining area. This would deter us rebooking for any future visit.
