Excellent Stay with Family and Friends

clean room comfortable room great staff

The hotel and rooms were clean, and the rooms were comfortable. The dining room stood out with its great food, atmosphere, and staff. Rosie looked after us very well. I have recommended this hotel to everyone I know.

The shower had issues , fluctuating between hot and cold every 15 seconds, and the water pressure was low. This made showering unpleasant , so I hope it gets fixed soon.
