Really good Experience!

helpful staff early room amazing breakfast comfy beds

The room was ready upon my early arrival. Breakfast impressed me. The team communicated a wedding at the venue, with dining in the pub, equally great. I would definitely stay here again! The check in was efficient and staff were friendly. The beds were super comfy. Breakfast was amazing. I loved the variety!

I had some difficulty connecting to the WiFi. The connection was intermittent, so I had to use my personal data at times.

Great Stay

larger room good service easy parking perfect size

The room was larger than expected and well maintained. I found good service in the pub, and parking was easy. Breakfast included items off menu and tasted superb. Staff members greeted me warmly upon arrival and offered helpful information. I was shown to my room, and it was comfortable and a perfect size.

Connecting to the WiFi proved impossible after multiple attempts. I did encounter a strong odor in the shower room. It was like dirty drains.
