There wasn't anything we didn't like we loved our stay. A very minor point would be that the shower could have been more powerful.
Lovely friendly welcome. Room was great, spacious, spotlessly clean nicely decorated. Loads of extras, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, water, shampoo, conditioner, shaving kit, sewing kit you name it, it was provided. Even the dog was provided for, with a blanket and a bowl of biscuits. We ate at the hotel on both of the evenings that we stayed, in the bar area as we had our dog with us, food was super, reasonably priced and the service was good, especially Fiona who was very friendly. lots of locals in too which is a good sign. Great breakfast, lots of choice and plenty of it.

“Good location for a one night stay, but expensive for what it was.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
Breakfast was in a very dark internal room, although there was seating in the room in which the breakfast buffet was served. It is clear that a modern extension has been added to the hotel and whilst this is very pleasant, the older part of the hotel is not well utilised. Access to the very attractive garden is only possible through a room that isn't used. I had to ask for the door to be opened.
Location was excellent and the room was clean, comfortable and bright. Food in the restaurant was good but the choice was limited if you were staying more than a couple of nights.

Unfortunately the boiler failed to ignite on our first morning and there was no hot water. All well the next day. The restaurant staff were excellent but were a bit lax in informing us about allergy ingredients. However, everything was clarified when the meal arrived. I have to admit the restaurant was really busy and the staff were under pressure
The hotel is in great order and in a good location next to Neptunes Staircase. The food served is excellent
