We have stayed here before and was impressed, had my birthday here with 12 guests, everyone loved the food, the service was excellent all the staff were so helpful and kind made our stay memorable. We had room 601, which has the viewing room at the top, the sunset was amazing. We will be back, trouble is my 12 guests want room 601 too.

Very nice place and lovely views and walks for dogs. Staff friendly and breakfast was good. A bit pricy for food but due to the location probably expected.
