i found great food at the varied dinner menu. the dishes were well-prepared and presented at a reasonable price. breakfast included fresh eggs from their own hens in the garden. locally supplied fish and venison were fabulous.

My room needs updating. There was mould around the edge of the shower. i noticed a water stain on the ceiling. i also saw some dog hairs on the carpet.

The shower's thermostatic control did not work correctly. It delivered no heat at all. my partner tried to shower but could not even go in! it really needs fixing!

The breakfast selection offered generous portions each day. I found a nice variety of dishes on the dinner menu. Tasty meals arrived promptly. Hens in the hotel garden provided entertainment during breakfast, which I found to be a unique touch.

The shower's water temperature fluctuated. It switched unexpectedly from very hot to cold.

The hotel is located conveniently and has parking available. It was an added delight to see the well-behaved dogs that were also guests.
