Excellent Food and Relaxing Rooms!

spacious room great shower helpful staff
The rooms were spacious and well decorated plus there was a place to sit outside I found the bed comfortable and the area quiet at night. Nice toiletries and a great shower were available. The selection of teas and coffee was good with fresh milk in a fridge. The pub food was also lovely and the staff were friendly, helpful, and accommodating.
The narrow roads made getting there a bit difficult. It would be great if the signage was improved so that future guests can find the hotel more easily. This would.
