"Lovely relaxing decor in bedroom, very clean and nice towels. Restaurant was a bit basic and felt a little grubby, Standard food like a Wetherspoons but at very inflated prices with no option to visit anywhere else locally. Staff friendly and professional. Would stay again, but maybe eat before we arrived in the evening!"

"I enjoyed the stay but we were a little disappointed by the size of the room and the balcony which was tiny. I expected a little more for the price. We wanted something really special for this trip but sadly expectations were not met. On the plus side, friendly staff, nice garden and very lovely location."
