Fabulous stay in a traditional hotel with lovely atmosphere and fabulous food. We stayed in a cosy double at the front of the hotel which was perfectly adequate for a 1 night stay. Room was immaculately clean and well presented, nice furnishings with complimentary tea,coffe ,hot chocolate and shortbread biscuits. Bathroom was very small but again spotlessly clean and adequate. Food was exceptional - we had evening meal and breakfast - good quality, testy and reasonably priced. Staff were wonderful - helpful, polite and professional. Can't wait to go back.

Excellent food and drinks. Staff were all very helpful. Dined in the bar which was a bit busy. Would probably book the restaurant if we stayed again. Bedroom was lovely. A little pricey compared to rooms of a similar standard we've stayed in but that's probably down to the popularity of the hotel.

Great stay for 2 nights. The room was clean and spacious and the bed comfortable. Consistently excellent food for both dinners and breakfasts that we had - and very promptly served, considering how busy the restaurant gets. Well done to all the staff team.
