Wonderful Hospitality and Great Food!
helpful stafffunction roomhomemade treatsgreat burgers
The staff were helpful and cute! I even got offered a function room for a meeting, unexpected (but very useful). I extended my stay specifically because of the excellent service. The afternoon tea included a great choice of homemade treats. The dinner was ALSO great, especially the homemade burgers!
The reception area felt a little chilly when I first arrived.

There is a bar with an outside seating area. The barman Ben was friendly and efficient. He also served breakfast and he was the only member of staff on duty. Ben was friendly, smiling and a real asset to the hotel.

I stayed one night. Ben, the barman, was very friendly and efficient. He served us breakfast too and was the only staff member on duty. He remained friendly and smiling despite being busy. I think he is a credit to the hotel.
The stair carpet looked frayed. It could use some care.
