Lovely hotel and a great room. A bit different compared to hotel chains. All staff friendly and helpful. Parking in hotel grounds a bonus for the area. Breakfast very good. Only criticism is I’d have preferred a wider breakfast menu.

The room was very nice, with no extra room to unpack clothing. The bed was comfortable. The shower was one of the largest and nicest we had compared to the other places we stayed. The full English breakfast was great and plentiful.
