I enjoyed a spacious room with stylish decor and a comfy bed. The breakfast was fantastic, freshly made to order. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. I appreciated the lovely touch of fresh milk and shortbread in the room. The outdoor seating area was a nice bonus. 😊

Had an amazing stay! The Sunday roast was the best I’ve had in ages 🍽️. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made our experience even better. Only downside was the noisy road outside.

During my solo stay, I found the staff genuinely attentive, providing a comforting environment. The room offered a cozy ambiance, though the water pressure in the shower left something to be desired. a tranquil experience well worth revisiting.

comfort in a spacious room with a few distractions

The room was very spacious and thoughtfully equipped. I appreciated the quality of the bathroom products, which added a touch of luxury to my stay.
