10/10 Excellent
"This place spelled straight out of a Victorian novel! The beds were quite comfortable, and we very much enjoyed the well-appointed kitchen. We also loved that there were sheep and a historic graveyard adjacent to the property, so we enjoyed walking around the neighborhoods in the evenings and hearing all of the jackdaws come into roost. Our hosts met us at the property for check-in. Altogether, I would stay here again in a heartbeat!"

"From Charmaine welcoming us at reception, & giving me a free birthday upgrade to Dessie serving us at the bar, they are only a few of the reasons it's our favourite hotel. The food is amazing as always, the atmosphere relaxed no matter how busy they are. Breakfast was delicious & altho very busy, the girls were so courteous & chatty. We'll be back in October for our anniversary."
