We stayed 3 nights in the family room, and really enjoyed our time there! The property and its pub/restaurant are lovely, and the beer is great too! The room is well prepared, clean and has everything you would need. Breakfast was lovely! A nice cooked menu and also some continental items to get stuck into, while you wait for your cooked breakfast. My only negative feedback for our stay, would be the waiting time for the cooked breakfast to come out. For me this really needs to be sped up. We waiting an average of 30-40 mins for the cooked breakfast to come out after ordering it each moening. I appreciate that as there are only 8 rooms to cater for, that they may like to cook everything fresh, but perhaps starting to cook a number of sausages earlier would save time. Apart from that its a great hotel!

Car park was full in the evening so had to park in a lay-by nearby. The staff were helpful and the breakfast was good. We were in a top floor room with a very low ceiling that could do with some padding on the corners as it was a safety hazard.
