Have stayed several times before and couldn’t fault. However, we were unable to sleep on this occasion due to constant noise that seemed to be coming from every direction. Would not recommend room no 4. Also, we are skipping the shower as didn’t pack a shower cap as thought one would be provided 😞

Well appointed, comfortable and quiet room with easy parking. Dinner not worth the money, adequate but nothing special. Service was very good but the management policy of not returning left policy after six months is petty - I left my iphone charger behind on my last stay, called on return home and was told the charger would be retained for my next visit - seems that despite the efforts of the staff to retuen my policy this was stopped due to a management edict citing six months. Very petty and left a sour taste.

Great stay overall, modern and clean with nice facilities. Our room faced the road, which was a bit noisy but nothing a pair a good earplugs can't resolve. Lovely picturesque village and good restaurant!
