Lovely welcome from Adam and for our golden retreiver too. Room with patio was outstanding with everything you need comfy bed and pillows and personal touches such as home made chocolates. Wi-Fi strength could be improved and a bin for doggie bags provided. Ryan C looked after us so well at dinner. A lovely stay.

Our stay was very good overall. There were a few little niggles like the window wouldn’t open more than an inch and the bathroom sink was problematic. However, the room itself was lovely, comfortable bed, great coffee machine, quiet. Staff were very friendly. Food was good. I will stay again.
