The room was beautiful. We had been to a wedding so they allowed late arrival back. The only feedback is they the room was stifling hot to enter. There wasn’t air conditioning but there was a fan they I was happy with. The pillows were so comfy and it was a luxurious stay. Would return. Breakfast was also delicious.

Really lovely property and great evening staff offering a really warm welcome. The morning staff didn't seem quite as enthusiastic but maybe that was just the time of day!?
The facilities lose a star because the breakfast is not included and can be very expensive if you include a couple of coffees, orange juice, cereal and cooked breakfast.
Great stay overall though.

Great place
This is a great place to stay but the restaurant is primarily fish-based dishes. Rooms very nice, modern but charming. Staff great. Good bar. Nice outdoor space. Easy parking. There's a lot to like!

We stayed the this property for one night and was not disappointed.
From the minute we arrived we were greeted by friendly staff who showed us to our gorgeous room for the night. The interior decor of the room was beautifully thought through and fet cosy and homely.
We were provided with a selection of coffee pods to use on with the coffee machine, whilst also having milk and a bottle of water available in the fridge. The room was well maintained and cleaned to a very high standard.
Even though our room was closest to the bar, we found our room to be quiet even until the pub closed.
The food was magnificent! My partner had the steak whilst I opted for one of the fish specials. The food was amazing and would highly reccomend friends and family pay the restaurant a visit.
The breakfast in the morning was well presented and delicious!
Although not local to the area I will be speaking highly of this place to anyone planning a visit up this way.
