Staff at hotel most pleasant & friendly that help make the stay enjoyable. The hotel is clean and rooms are spacious. The food is lovely and freshly cooked. If anything you need just ask and the staff will accommodate if they can. 1 of the best hotels I have stayed in that this was my 2nd stay. A nice quiet location not far by car to main towns.

Friendly staff & a clean place

Our double room was ground level & small, the walls seemed paper thin as one could here the slightest noise from outside the door & the footsteps from the room above there were no shelves in bathroom to put toiletries out so it did feel a little cramped but we only stayed for 2 nights so no big deal the bed was really comfy & the room was very clean , we didn’t use any facilities as we were visiting family so ate & drank elsewhere

Adequate room

The room was adequate for a single night stay, felt a bit cramped for overall space. First time in this area and did not have much to choose from.
