    Room 2, small but beautifully decorated in keeping with the property character. Bed very comfortable. and shower lovely. The young lady who checked us in was lovely and cheerful which made us feel very welcome. Breakfast was fantastic and again the staff were lovely, all smiling and greeting guests which created a lovely warm atmosphere.

    Nothing I didn't like but a bit of feedback is bar would be nice to have some music (I was to put the TV on but didn't have music channels unfortunately) Really is only a minor thing.

    Really enjoyed our stay, was presently surprised by just how nice it was. Bathroom was brand new with high spec fixtures and fittings, room was light and airy and tastefully decorated. We stayed in room 34 (small double) locations literally 5mins from the town. Above all the management seem to care and truly mean to keep and well kept establishment with a good reputation. The welcome letter welcomes feedback and the staff seem to be happy and in good spirits. Again this tells that the owners are good employers. Lately with many establishments I feel a trend to inconvenience the customer in favor of penny pinching even if the thing the establishment is withholding/limiting doesn't actually cost the hotel.. for example, here allowed us to check in early and park our car and even let us keep our car there up to 1pm on the day of checkout. Breakfast selection was generous and extensive and the time window wide to allow the customer to be up and off or lay in after a heavy night. Also the bars drinks were reasonably priced again showing the owners appreciate the customers as people and not just wallets. Sounds daft but little things like this stack up to give a happy experience.

    My partner said he found the bed a bit hard but I was fine. It was 2 single beds together and might have been better if it was one full bed. But a standard double would have been smaller in width ..

    The breakfast was great with plenty of choice and within a good time frame. The staff were very friendly. The bathroom in our room was very modern.
