A great find with lovely staff!

A really lovely place to stay, plenty of parking on site and all of the staff from arrival, dinner and breakfast were fabulous. The rooms are a good size, comfy bed and plenty of amenities. The food was lovely for both dinner and breakfast. The bathroom was a little tired and the shower temperature a bit temperamental but that is being picky! Highly recommended and I will definitely stay again.

Overnight stay

We gave stayed here before but the new owners have made great improvements. The room was spacious and the staff debaerslly were welcoming and efficient. The only exception being at breakfast where the Chinese server could perhaps benefit from some hospitality training. Otherwise an excellent stay.
