    Great location with a car park. Staff super friendly and check in really straight forward. We were leaving early the next morning so were offered takeaway breakfasts which were great. Evening meal was Scrummy, definitely recommend to eat here....

    Very congenial and helpful staff. A lovely relaxed evening meal with cheery attentive staff and the same goes for the breakfast. I'd never come across a shower fitment that required the tap being swivelled aside to make the shower over the bath...
