Wonderful Stay at The Hotel
big bathroomgood qualitywarm staff
The room had a good size and the bathroom also was big. The evening meal at the pub offered good quality food in good quantities. Staff were warm and cute, always ready to help with a smile.
The price for a beer felt a bit too much for what I got.

The food offer has improved since my last visit. The venue's quality is reflected in the food. The breakfast was tasty, I thought. I am looking forward to my next stay.
The room only had two coat hangers. A cheap wire hanger was present, and a plastic hanger was also present. The TV only had BBC 1 and 2 tuned in. The other channels did not work.
