A nice little hotel with bar and restaurant, decent breakfast , really offering a nice choice of traditional or lite meal. Clean , helpful staff, especially the handyman who made sure i had a fan in my room. Small rooms but comfortable , just a bit too stuffy in the hot weather. All in all a satisfactory pleasant place to stay

Room was clean and well stocked great for a one night stay but could do with updating. Although parking is off site it is right next to the hotel and reasonably priced.

It’s a quirky place. Good decoration in main restaurant and bar but the rooms need updating. Very noisy at the front of the property in the room and the shower was terrible and sink didn’t drain. Staff lovely and the food great.
