Only stayed one night, couldn’t get a drink at bar as was after 10 when the bar closes, seemed a bit petty given we were residents. Breakfast was good and room facilities great.

Lovely hotel / inn with huge stylish bedrooms and fantastic bar with open fire. Food (fresh pizza) was amazing - some really interesting flavours. Breakfast fresh and very hearty. Highly recommended! Can’t remember the last time I went to a hotel this good.
