Visit with friends

A very good ‘restaurant with rooms’ hotel. Super comfy beds, excellent breakfast, very friendly staff. The corridors and staircase are looking a little tired but our room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Highly recommend the restaurant too, had a great atmosphere and good food.

25th Anniversary Party Stay

Lovely hotel and staff, the room was nice too. We stayed as an an anniversary party in the venue attached. Breakfast was lovely. Only criticism would be that the rooms were quite warm.

Bigger mugs but lovely hotel.

Lovely location and a great hotel. We parked nearby on the road although there is a small car park around the back. Bigger mugs for the rooms would be nice though. We didn’t eat as the kitchen was closed on Sunday but would love to come back to try the food.
