Great breakfast and helpful friendly staff.

Food was exceptional for both evening meal and breakfast and staff was on hand and very helpful and friendly to deal with during my stay. Rooms were of a very good and clean but of an average standard but would stay again just for the food.

A Perfect Stay

Our stay was perfect from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. The room was spacious, stylish and spotless. The bathroom was great. The staff who work here are so welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Everyone has a smile. We had an evening meal and breakfast and both were delicious. We couldn’t fault anything and will definitely be back very soon.

Jenny (staff) is efficient and caring about customer service. I watched her working hard at a busy lunch hour managing multiple tasks. She was courteous and helpful, answering my transportation questions and taking care of so much at once. The food is excellent and room quiet, clean and comfortable.

Cannot wait to come back for dinner & stay!

It was lovely, I am planning to come back to stay for dinner and and a night's stay to really make the most of it - it was a fantastic room, very large and the bed was huge! The breakfast too was amazing as others have mentioned - absolutely stuffed and was one of the best I've ever had at a hotel. Literally already planning a comeback!

Standard of Hotel and Food

Hotel & Room are a bit tired and needs a bit of an update/refurbishment. Noticed a bit of mould of a couple of windows but room was very clean. Breakfast was good and of high standard plus plentiful.
