The hotel was ideally located for a local family event. We had a warm welcome by very friendly staff. The room was spacious, very clean with a comfortable bed and wonderful shower (I don’t personally like shower curtains but that was a tiny negative). We enjoyed an excellent meal in the evening, had a good nights sleep and a very tasty breakfast. For the price we paid, we really couldn’t fault our stay. We will definitely use this hotel again.
