Lovely weekend stay
Great location and a very spacious room, which was clean and well equipped. Perhaps in need of a little modernisation but was very comfortable. Great bed and shower. Check in took a little while but was friendly. Breakfast buffet was very good with a good selection of food. Very busy on Sunday morning but quiet on Monday morning. The hostess Janet was excellent and remained calm during the rush, despite the queue of guests waiting for a table. Would definitely return.
