    A Delightful Weekend Retreat

    Had a lovely experience during our one-night stay. The friendly staff made us feel at home. Breakfast was a highlight. the Vegetarian option was simply delicious! Don’t miss the local flavors at the buffet. For a cozy night, request a room with a view if possible.

    friendly staff
    fiddly shower

    Had a great trip with friends! We cycled along the coast to coast route right outside the hotel and even explored some fantastic caves nearby. The rooms were spotless, and breakfast choices were delicious with hot meals cooked to order. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome too. Will definitely return for future adventures!

    The shower was a bit fiddly to use but we managed to get it working after some trial.

    comfy beds
    hot breakfast
    slightly undercooked hash brown

    We had a fantastic night here after a long bike ride, and the comfy beds were a dream! It was great to have a hot breakfast option and my kids loved the indoor space for storing our bikes. If I’m being picky, my hash brown could’ve been crispier, but overall, it was just the relaxing getaway we needed! 😊

    comfortable stay but minor improvements needed

    The triple room was spacious and impeccably clean. Breakfast choices stood out with delicious hot options cooked perfectly.

    Comfortable stay with friendly service

    I recently stayed for one night in a beautifully decorated double room. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room was spotless with thoughtful touches like fresh coffee. I enjoyed a hearty breakfast with great options, and the staff were genuinely friendly and accommodating. the heating in the room took time to warm up, making it a bit chilly initially.
