Room had good lighting for bedtime reading (not always available in lots of hotels). Terrific breakfasts and the evening meals were excellent - good home cooking. The bar boasted a... More

We were a bit apprehensive as we drove past on arrival as the exterior does not seem particularly impressive but our fears were soon dispelled when we booked in. The room was spotless with a lafge bathroom ( including spa... More

This wa excellent value for money. Dinner was nice on first night. The breakfast on both days was brilliant we were full for the rest of the day. I loved the big bath for chilling out. The staff at this hotel are very friendly.
