Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendly service. It’s a charming place to relax for a bit. The food was okay—not the highlight of the visit, but still a pleasant overall experience. Worth a stop if you’re in the area.

Room was good, however if staying again I would request garden view room as the road side room we were allocated can be noisy. The food is amazing both for main meals and breakfast. Staff are excellent, nothing too much trouble. Would I stay here a again? YES
