My husbsnd and I had a lovely stay here for 1 night. We were checked in by Tess who was very efficient friendly and customer friendly. Nothing was a problem. Our room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was individually cooked and offered a good choice from eggs waffle and fruit. The coffee was excellent. We loved the fire in the lounge plus the ambience of the hotel. Very well furnished with quality fittungs and in keeping with the style of the olde worlde convent building. We'll be back. Loved it. 😀
