The staff are always very welcoming and accommodating here, and the food is lovely. Perhaps some of the rooms are looking tired??... Or conversely is it just patina 😇... Which ever way you look at it, they are always clean, comfortable beds and pillows, and plenty of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits in the room... Thank you staff for another enjoyable few nights stay...👍
