Absolutely Amazing Stay!

great menuspacious roomdelicious foodmissing breakfast option

The bar area has such a great menu, and the food was genuinely delicious. I especially loved that they have Whispering Angel available by the glass! The room was so fantastic, cozy but also very spacious, and it easily accommodated my dog's travel crate. I could relax as I wanted.

The absence of a set breakfast option, including juice and pastries, could be improved. Maybe I am too spoiled and wanted a proper breakfast.

The room was across from the pub. it was a lovely, great size with quality furniture. the staff were really friendly. They looked after us well even though it was busy. i would happily recommend it.

My son is seventeen and the sofa provided as a bed was uncomfortable. it was so hard and short. His feet hung out. sleep is important. It wasn't the best.
