Just to let you know, the hotel was more than adequate for a one night stopover. The room (201) was a bit on the small side. It was clean and tidy and had been modernised. Although we were surprised that there was no heating in the room other than a little portable electric headter - but it did its job and we were not cold. The bed had a memory foam matress, which we were not aware of on booking. i understand they take a bit of getting used to if you've not slept in one before.. The bathroom had nice smellis in and the tea and coffee facitlities in the room were also good. The breakfast was fairly average. It stated that the sausages and bacon were sourced from a local farm. The bacon was good, but the sausages were poor and were deep fried like you get from a chip shop. My husband ordered fried egg and I ordered poached...... they looked the same. We did question the waiter, but he said there was one of each. The breakfast wasn't very hot and we didn;t have any hash browns that were on the menu. The service at the table however, was very efficient. I would stay here again as the hotel ticked all the boxes, but it just seemed to lack that homey feel that our usual b and b has. I guess thats just a personal choice thing.

Thank you for your kind review of the hotel and for taking the time to write. The room you mention is one of the smaller ones at the back of the hotel although I hope you agree that we price them accordingly.
I am sorry to hear that the breakfast was only average as this is an area which I think is very important for our success. I have talked to the chef about the sausages and he says that they take a long time to fry but I am encouraging this - you know how delicate you have to be with chefs!!! Regarding the hash browns, it is a mystery as I have checked and we did not run out.
Regardless, we look forward to seeing you here again or else our sister establishment which reopens (as a boutique bed and breakfast establishment) later this year. Watch this space for further details.
