Amazing Dog-Friendly Stay!

friendly staff spacious room free parking
The staff were friendly and helpful. My room had both a bath and a shower. I ate in the restaurant two nights, the fish and chips was one of the best I have ever had. Free parking was available at the side of the hotel.
The bed was a bit too small, but comfortable enough.

The restaurant provided a diverse menu with large portions, especially the chicken fajitas. I recommend arriving hungry! The beer selection on tap included some superb options. The Belgian waffles were also a highlight. And I skipped the starter.
