"In all aspects everything was excellent. Room so clean and comfortable, the staff all extremely friendly and helpful. The evening meals were really well presented, and cooked to perfection, the breakfast self-service everything you would like. The parking a little tight at the front but other car park available at the rear. All in all wished we could have stayed longer."

"Lovely hotel and very friendly helpful staff. Food in the bar was delicious and served lovely and hot. Nice relaxed feel about it, comfortable and spacious seating areas to chill and enjoy a few drinks and good food. Breakfast also very good, some things a bit cold but that’s the challenge of it being a buffet. Nevertheless very tasty, good quality and value for money. Didn’t get round to using the pool but next time …"
