“A warm friendly welcome.
The room was well furnished and the bathroom, the same. The shower and bath control was perfect, wall mounted too.
Dining didn’t disappoint, friendly and great food.”

“It is difficult to recommend this property as I could not fault anything. By saying that it will most probably be fully booked for evermore and I will never manage to stay again.
On a serious note, the food, staff, value for money and property...”
