totally amazing visit!

helpful staff delicious food great location
i've visited many hotels, and this one is definitely a top contender! the super nice team and friendly. the food was amazing (i especially loved the breakfast). the location is great with plenty of nearby walks.
the room, although comfortable, was a little noisy in the morning due to its proximity to the gravel drive. i think a better soundproofing solution would.

lovely hotel stay

good shower free parking
the bathroom was modern and large with a good quality shower. i found the location good with free parking next to the hotel. i liked that the staff member showed us to our room. breakfast was good and the service was quick.
i went for a meal and the seats were dirty, as if someone had an accident on them. i'm sure modern cleaning products could clean them. it was off putting so i could not enjoy my meal. i told a young girl, but she did nothing, so i would not go again for a meal the menu was same.
