Comfortable stay
mature treeswarm welcomecomfortable bed
I have stayed at this hotel several times now and have enjoyed each visit. The driveway is lined with mature trees, and I saw a rabbit and squirrels among them (so cute!). Guests receive a warm welcome and assistance with luggage upon arrival. Each room provides a comfortable bed, toiletries, and a hospitality tray.
My room was a bit dingy. I noticed a broken window catch.

The menu is varied and reasonably priced. I ate in the hotel each night. The breakfast was excellent, with plenty of choices available. Pre-dinner cocktails in the garden were an added bonus (i loved it!).
