Very pleasantly surprised at how lovely this hotel was. We had dinner and breakfast and both were very good. Very clean and very friendly staff. Would definitely stay here again.
Hotel was inviting and clean and staff were friendly and very helpful. Had a very nice evening meal there too and breakfast was great. Only slight negative was two very narrow single beds in our room.
Room was very clean & comfortable. Bathroom was a bit grubby in places.

the room was comfortable and clean - if I wanted to be really critical there are small amounts of black mold around the bath and embedded in the bottom of the shower screen. The bar /lounge was comfortable and the food was great as were all the staff we engaged during our stay
