However the big let down was the dinner. The menu was restricted and the choice limited. The quality of starter other than the soup was poor,... More

Stayed here recently for one night. It was for a short getaway with friends. Very efficient staff on reception. Room was of a great size and spotlessly clean. Breakfast next morning was very tasty and plenty to choose from. Would stay here again. More

I stayed here for 3 nights and dined in for 2 of those. The restaurant service is faultless. The food is freshly prepared and beautifully served. Weekend breakfasts are a feast - catering for all tastes. The room was warm and very comfortable. The only noise was the incessant (recorded?) birdsong - ALL through the night,every night! I think the... More
