Desk staff were helpful. Parking was very limited when the restaurant was busy. Dinner and breakfast were very good, but we were asked to wait in the bar area (which smelled smoky at the entrance) until our booking time. Room was clean, tastefully decorated and lots of outlets!

Had a lovely stay here for one night. Good car parking. Food was lovely with a really lovely breakfast. Room was lovely. Only thing was the hot water. Took 2-3 minutes to get hot although there was a sign to say this. Water in the shower and in the sink were slow in draining away.
