Stayed for 1 night, staff all friendly and our room was great for a family of 4. Ideal to be attached the pub as we didn’t have to go far for an evening meal after a long day out. Food was lovely and the next morning for breakfast also didn’t disappoint. Will definitely stay again. Thanks

Room was clean, nice enough hotel, breakfast buffet wasn't fantastic, some of the food had been under the hot plates for quite some time, but it wasn't too bad. A nice place to stay for the price
