My only negative was that the wifi would not connect in my room - even when given an alternative network and password. It connected without issue elsewhere in the hotel. Food and room were lovely

Great dog friendly stay
Very welcoming and friendly staff, dog friendly rooms, bar and breakfast. The room was very comfortable with dog bowls. Great shower and toiletries. Breakfast served in the cafe across the road which as delicious and nice to have food served rather than a semi-warm buffet! Great stay.
