Our room was gorgeous with incredible views, lovely toiletries, a really comfy bed and was cleaned and replenished daily. The fire made it really cosy in the evening and having a laundry was fab.
Francesca was a super star.
Breakfast was good and plentiful.
Would strongly recommend.
Room is spacious and new. The only problem is that with large windows on two sides, it almost like a fish bowl with no privacy. breakfast is great but only for 1 hour.

Short drive from town. Nice continental breakfast spread. The place is over-priced. It felt like a motel. The ‘luxury’ rooms have no views.
The website photos make the place look attractive. But they don’t tell you that only some of the rooms have that view.
We were a little disappointed we had to drive back 5 minutes to eat but the place was super nice room huge bed comfy and staff person was amazing would stay here again
Up market hotel on outskirts of town set in its own grounds. Rooms spacious and clean. Limited staff mean that front desk only open for a limited time. Breakfast options ok but not extensive.

Basic clean motel with complimentary continental breakfast and good bed.
A very quiet and comfortable place to stay. The room was large, with comfortable bed and plenty of sitting options. Nice view from the window and glass patio style doors. The bathroom was clean and properly stocked with toiletries. Breakfast was adequate. Just one request: if they could start the breakfast earlier than 8AM.
