Birthday stay before flying away.
Went for the “better” room which was comfortable and clean. Was for a birthday meal and stay for my wife. Reasonable size room but would have been nice to have some comfy chairs or a sofa. Was a bit stark and dark. Bed clean and comfy. TV , good choice of Chanel’s. Bathroom clean and functional, shower water pressure not the best. Had dinner in the restaurant, the pub area was really lovely and Sunday roast was good but our server girl seemed pretty grumpy. No Limoncello, although on the menu. Table of quite drunk and load people in the pub which sort of spoilt it , making you feel a bit uncomfortable. Breakfast was amazing and included in the price.

Lovely set up here for dining and rooms. The block we stayed in is a converted bungalow council style building and is pleasantly renovated with a generous garden area. Staff were very helpful. Breakfast was very good.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Dinner was divine with plenty of options for my dairy intolerance. Bed was very comfy and room was spacious. The shower was delightful with fantastic water pressure. Complimentary soap/shampoo/conditioner was a really nice touch.
