First Rate Food and Lodgings
Food and staff were amazing. Our room had a small private patio, which was beautiful, and lovely for the dogs. Staff were very helpful. And the food was top notch. Beautiful setting. Was lovely having breakfast outside in the morning. Loved it.

We booked super last minute on a Monday evening but still had a very lovely welcome! All of the staff we met were amazing and the room was lovely. Super dog friendly with a lovely garden area for walking them - breakfast in the morning was really good also! Will definitely return soon and make sure we have time for dinner and drinks in the evening!

We chose to stay here in part because of the EV chargers but they don't work. That meant we had to spend an additional 1.5 hours at a charging point 10 mins away to charge the car instead of relaxing in the hotel after check-in. 😔 The staff were excellent; very attentive and accommodating especially with our 7 month old baby! Dinner and breakfast were absolutely delicious and an excellent range of dishes on offer. The room was very comfortable and the biscuits upon arrival were a very welcomed touch.
