Husband’s birthday treat

Had a very enjoyable stay. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the food was excellent and reasonable price. Would recommend this place to everyone
Margaret, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Definitely worth a stay

A very comfortable stay. Room was very clean and tidy. Bathroom could do with a bit of TLC, although the shower was good, with plenty of hot water. We stayed on a Saturday night, so there was a party with music in the pub downstairs but this didn’t overly disturb us. We both had a lovely nights sleep.

8/10 Very good

Comfortable accommodation.

Had to approach bar for service. Very limited interaction - just escorted to room and provided key. No information provided. Bars of soap provided on bathroom sink, and not pump soap. Difficult to get soap off hands. Room comfortable enough.
