This place is wonderful! It literally has everything and anything you may need. 19 of us had a fantastic weekend celebrating a big birthday. Darren was helpful and approachable leading up to our arrival and a great help when we needed him to get Sky TV working; someone was round within 10 minutes to sort it. Darren provided us with stock for the bar and organised Jerome’s team to come in and cook for all 19 of us one evening and I would recommend their services to anyone staying here. The kitchen is well equipped, the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, the bar/lounge/dining area are cosy and the games room provided us with lots of fun; I hope no one filmed us on karaoke! The town is beautifully quirky with a good selection of shops and pubs. If you have a celebration coming up I couldn’t think of a better place to spend it!
