The staff were excellent. The grounds are well kept and peaceful, and although close to a main road it was a pleasure to sit outside. Well done Karen on the front desk for going the extra mile.

Good stay

It was a very nice hotel at a reasonable price point. Although some things could use updating the excellent staff and high standard of service made up for it. Breakfast was okay but I would definitely go there again given the chance. Very clean and pleasant.
