    From arrival we were met with a friendly lady on reception, unfortunately I can't remember her name but she was very helpful, professional and made us feel welcome. The hotel in general was clean, tidy and had a homely feel. Myself and my partner...

    Room and bed were comfortable. Good space on the en-suite toilet. Breakfast was cooked to order and plentiful. Bar food was good with plenty of choice.
