    The cleanliness of the bedrooms was exceptional and the breakfast divine. We were offered extra barista coffees, which was fantastic when we had a long tourist day before us with two very excitable toddlers.

    The Fox and Hounds was fantastic. The room was nicely done out, clean and modern. The food was fantastic, possibly the best sweet potato fries I've ever had. The staff were friendly and helpful and the atmosphere in the restaurant was great.
