Allan - 05/07/2026

We had dinner on the first night which was very enjoyable.

Dinner menu prices a bit high for residents, thought a discount might be in order.

A great hotel in a great location. The staff were brilliant, really friendly and helpful. We ate in the restaurant and it was superb, as was the breakfast. Lovely, clean room with a very good bathroom.

We had lunch, dinner and breakfast. Food was great at every sitting. Fantastic deep bath in the room and big spacious room.

Tiny screen TV which was exaggerated even more as the bedroom was huge. Not really major issue.

Very clean and comfortable, good beer garden, very good quality breakfast, very friendly staff

The evening meal a bit pricey for a pie case steak pie with carrots in it, have had a much better steak pie elsewhere for a more reasonable price
