We stayed for one night for bed and breakfast. We couldn't fault the staff. Everyone was kind and attentive and we enjoyed our meal and evening. The breakfast was good and the staff were helpful. Our room was clean and generally good however, the bathroom was tired and the grout was in a poor condition. The car park nearby was very reasonable for overnight parking but it was in need of a clean up.

The food and the bar was really good. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and made our stay really welcoming. They have managed to make the bar resteraunt and the bedroom we stayed very comfortable and bright but still holding on to the character of the building. Will definitely go back
