Had a lovely overnight stay here. I arrived early as I was attending a wedding and was able to access my room no problem to get ready. Room has recently been re-furbished and is beautiful. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the breakfast is good too. I would have no hesitation in returning.

Great Food

Great staff, clean room and fantastic food. The breakfast in particular was exceptional. But be warned, the portions are huge. All in all, a quaint little hotel that offers service well above its price band
