Beds were comfortable, room was clean and it was very quiet. Just what we needed. We enjoyed our stay so much we decided to stay again a second night. On the second night we decided to eat in and we ordered the steak and chips with mushroom sauce and a side salad. The steak was perfectly cooked to our liking and the chips were what chips are supposed to be. Perfectly seasoned, crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the outside. Needless to say after a hard day, it was exactly what we needed. Thanks so much.

Nothing. Liked all.of it.

Great sized room. Lovely to have a bath. Two big beds and sky tv. Flew in to attend a function being held there, really great to just wander along the corridor afterwards. Function was well catered and on used was perfect.
