Lovely hotel

8.0

The hotel was clean and tidy and the location was very beautiful. There were limited staff were also friendly.

− The hotel restaurant was closed, although I was informed before my stay. There were limited options around the hotel for food. The driveway to the hotel needs a little care as it’s quite bumpy.

Friendly staff, very welcoming. The bed was very comfortable, the room was ok.

− The place did not feel very warm or lived in,making a rather empty and dated feel. Food was disappointing. No alcohol and red wine alternative unavailable. No access to lounge. Driveway very bumpy due to potholes.
