Lovely room and amazing shower. Staff very friendly. Went above and beyond to help us with requests. Weather was terrible and gave us a lift to train station afterwards. Top place top people. Lovely food
Great staff, clean room and fantastic food. The breakfast in particular was exceptional. But be warned, the portions are huge. All in all, a quaint little hotel that offers service well above its price band

Had a lovely overnight stay here. I arrived early as I was attending a wedding and was able to access my room no problem to get ready.
