Great location and parking! A lovely quirky hotel where they have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable! Breakfast was cooked to order with a good choice. Pancakes and fruit was really good! Everything you needed in the room with great fans which were well needed in this heatwave! Had a really good nights sleep! Easy check out 😊

We had a lovely warm welcome on arrival and attentive service throughout our stay. Room was brilliant, lovely character and very warm and cosy. All amenities we needed for our stay. Wonderful choice of hot breakfast dishes which were cooked and presented to a high standard and accompanied by fruits, yogurt, nuts, seeds, toast, preserves etc etc. Thoroughly recommend this beautiful charming hotel and will definitely stay again when in the area.
