10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic hotel my only concern was there was no walk in shower only one over the bath in my room. I have stayed at the bank house 5 times over the last 2 years and have always found the staff friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this hotel if you want to treat yourself"
