Really good Stay, Amazing Food and Friendly Staff!

cute staffspacious roomexcellent dinnersuper clean bedroom
The staff were cute, from the reception to the restaurant! The room was spacious, well-appointed, and had everything I required. Next time I visit, I will ask for milk earlier! Dinner was excellent, with a high standard and versatility far beyond typical hotel food. I would return just to eat there. The bedrooms were spacious, nicely furnished, very comfortable, and spotlessly clean.
The accessible shower had very slippery tiles on the floor when wet, which I found a bit dangerous. Mirrors also need lowering to wheelchair level, and there wasn't a fridge to store my diabetic insulin.
