Travelled with a child and we both greatly enjoyed our stay. Made to feel very welcome and found our room comfortable and clean. Netflix was a bonus for the 9 year old!
We dined in the restaurant and both loved the food, finding it good quality and delicious. Kids menu had enough choice. We will be returning for another visit, as it is a beautiful drive up the coast and lovely to stay in an older property which has character.
The room we had was a disabled room and not at any point were we told of this at check in. My partner is 6’4” and I’m 5ft 5, everything is for wheel chair guests so we had to bend down for the mirrors the shower was far too low for my partner .The light in the bathroom was not good for applying makeup on .
When asked if everything had been good at the hotel , I told the receptionist that I wasn’t happy with the room she said she would have upgraded me if I had said on arrival !!
Makes no sense - I didn’t book a disabled room and therefore should have been told or we should have been placed n another room that was available. Plus I had issues with the tv and had to get 2 people to come and sort it out and they couldn’t get the subtitles removed at all .
This was very disappointing as the food and service was good. 10% has been taken off my food bill.
Brilliant hotel with great service. Lovely comfy rooms in a wonderful village.

Lovely hotel exterior and downstairs. Our room was very small and overlooked a roof which was a disappointment.
The staff were all lovely and the food was excellent. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
This is overall a very nice hotel, and the room was very comfortable. My gripe is with the wi-fi. It’s hopeless. Disconnects and reconnects constantly, and is incredibly slow. I don’t actually understand how they can make it this bad. You’d have to start with a dial-up modem, but at least that might have a stable connection.
Lovely friendly welcome. Plenty car parking space. Room was lovely, clean and toiletries in the bathroom.
Food was a set menu for dinner starting at 2 courses. I would have preferred a choice of one course as I arrived late. Breakfast was plentiful. I had eggs marine which was delicious. Definitely a great stay
Excellent hotel. Beautifully decorated, very comfortable room, staff extremely helpful and very welcoming at check in. Nice to be taken to our room. Breakfast superb. Also quickly sorted arrangement for dairy intolerance.
