"Stopped here for the night and was taken back by the warm welcome from the staff especially Andrew who couldn't be more helpful. The menu at dinner was fab, food very tasty and the whole atmosphere was very relaxed and comfy. The room was excellent with a bed that I didn't want to leave. Breakfast was scrumptious too."
