Excellent hotel and restaurant
Cannot fault any aspect of our stay. Really nice hotel, restaurant is excellent and well worth a visit. The service there was perfect, the small team there could not do enough to help.

Liked: Staff & service
I only used the room, and did not try the food. So this review is just that. Unfortunately the room I was in was downstairs, and could very clearly hear all the footsteps and movements on the floor above. The room had a very strange smell, and it just a feeling of not being very well cleaned or cared for. The blind was filled with dead bug marks for example. I would not stay there again, and found the parking quite difficult as there were limited spots, all taken.
