A great break
A fantastic long weekend here. I received a great welcome as I arrived early and wanted to leave my car to go for a walk. Perfect room, just as described. Breakfast was very tasty, lots of choice and promptly served. I had my two spaniels with me and they were welcomed everywhere - sausages on offer at breakfast and kept them quiet.

Very impressed
Met all expectations and more. Very friendly staff and atmosphere all round. The only small thing to mention is that in Room 6, which I think is above the kitchen, there is a rather noisy rumble sound which I think comes from a fan below?? It begins about 7.15 in the morning.
