Loved it! From the minute we walked into reception. Very friendly and warm welcome. Check in was nice and easy. Room was warm, clean and comfortable. Although the hotel is on a main road, you would never know! Nice and quiet.. Little things like the tea and coffee, the tea was really nice, clearly not cheap and cheerful brand. Breakfast was lovely too, well cooked and again.. really friendly welcome and service was great. Will DEFINITELY stay here again.

Was surprised to find rooms outside of the main building. Room was clean enough but there were areas that that been clearly overlooked for some time, for example fixtures handles in bath a bit grotty, easy to overlook. For price of room can't really complain, quality toiletries provided. Found restaurant service & quality of food to be very good.
