"In all aspects everything was excellent. Room so clean and comfortable, the staff all extremely friendly and helpful. The evening meals were really well presented, and cooked to perfection, the breakfast self-service everything you would like. The parking a little tight at the front but other car park available at the rear. All in all wished we could have stayed longer."
