Fabulous place to stay!
Such a lovely place to stay & feel we’ve stumbled upon a hidden gem that was located in lovely surroundings and very easy to find. Just perfect! The rooms were well kept, contemporary & smelt divine, with all amenities & really nice to have fresh milk too! Also loved that you could replenish things yourself if you needed. Beds super comfy too!
We are on both nights & food was of a good standard. The staff, in particular on Saturday evening were so friendly, making the customer service stand out. Good choice of breakfast & speedy service. I would highly recommend a stay if in the area - they really go that extra mile to ensure you have a great experience.

Excellent hotel
Excellent service from start to finish, from check-in with Deirdre (I believe that was her name, lovely Irish girl), to a very nice and comfortable room, a great dinner in the pub, and a smooth check-out.
We will be back
