My partner & I stayed in-house but had our meals in the bar downstairs and enjoyed the boutique beer/cider. The atmosphere is relaxing & the meals well-presented and very enjoyable. The staff were very welcoming and helpful with any enquiries. The ladies toilet was the only disappointment: it is in dire need of a makeover as it was pretty old, messy & needing some repairs in the walls, etc. ##### Cathy Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lurcelle Feb 3, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Courteous staff.
