"Our third stay ! As good as ever, but a rail by the shower in the bathroom would be a good idea and also a non-slip mat as one has to step over the side of the bath to use the shower and it was very slippery. An accident waiting to happen.! Otherwise all was good but one pack of biscuits for two of us ?? Come on !!"

"Manager went above and beyond to ensure our stay was pleasant. TV played up and seemed that only 2 channels working adequately. Staff assisted but the problem persisted. Room was good and bed very comfortable. There was no fridge for keeping water cool which would have been helpful. Breakfast was amazing. Lovely location and very pretty surroundings."
