Everything superb again, albeit the breakfast was a little well done for my liking. I also think the bar food prices are a little pricey, but the quality of food was good.

We had a brilliant time here. The hotel is beautiful. Our room was huge and had loads of useful things like water in the fridge, a fan, iron and ironing board, air con. We ate dinner there which was lovely and very reasonable. Drinks in the bar whilst playing scrabble was a fun evening too! Breakfast was really good, lots of choice and very tasty. It was super dog friendly and we loved seeing the dogs getting their sausages in the morning! All the staff were really helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be back!

Only comment is more staff required for checking in purposes as other staff working really hard. We were acknowledged but had to wait quite a while also other customers waiting to pay their bills.
