Absolutely amazing

Absolutely loved staying here. We ate in the restaurant and were seated in the conservatory. The food was gorgeous. The staff were informative and welcoming. The room was Spotless and homely. They even provided extra milk and biscuits. Every tea imaginable and coffee. We will definitely stay again

Nothing not to like- just amazing

The staff were pleasant, helpful and polite. The breakfast (not included) was excellent, with vegetarian and continental options, prepared freshly to order. The evening menu was good, although my prawn starter was a bit disappointing while the chicken green curry was heavenly. There was a good supply of teas, coffee etc. and a bottle of fresh tapwater in the bedroom.

We had trouble getting comfortable in the small room, but to be fair we stayed in a heatwave. There was a small fan, but it didn't make a lot of difference. We had to close the (ground floor) bathroom window because people were smoking in the yard outside it. There was a large Velux window, which helped by the morning. The room and bedding were largely clean, although there was debris along the base of the skirting and dust/ cobwebs around the edge of the Velux window.
