Pleasant stay. Friendly staff. Rooms have a sharp design and are well designed for the available space, but some things are well worn and in need of maintenance.

Couldn’t think of anything too much to fault about the property. Drinks a little pricy but we enjoyed our stay and would definitely come again. The breakfast was excellent and from what we see in the bar are that looked good as well. The property was clean and looked in good condition. The staff were excellent. This is our home town we grew up in so knew the area well.
