The staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms and communal areas were very clean. The breakfast was first rate. There was a good variety of options, including vegan and vegetarian. The ingredients were good quality and it was well cooked and flavoursome. We had a lovely first stay and wouldn't hesitate to make a return visit if we are in the area in future.
