Nice comfortable hotel

Stayed here after a family get together at their nearby home. Room wasn’t the biggest but the bed was comfortable and it was still lovely. Quiet pub downstairs so no issues with noise. We didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment. Staff were friendly and helpful.

We only had a one night stay for an occasion. Once we found a car park, that was good, but there is no hotel parking. The hotel staff were very pleasant. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good, but we thought it was a little bit pricey. An enjoyable stay.
