this is an awesome venue - we had a room with an awesome view that was at the back of the property so there was no road noise. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The only suggestion would be that the liquid soap in the shower was more liquid than soap.

We had a great stay! The room was clean, tidy, and exactly as pictured. It was lovely arriving to a warm, cosy room, which made us feel comfortable straight away. The staff were all friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and the amenities were excellent. The kitchenette was especially useful, particularly when travelling with young children. We were a family of four with two children under five, and this accommodation was a fantastic choice. It was comfortable, family-friendly, and only a pleasant walk into town. We’d happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it to other families.
