Easy to find and comfortable place to stay. Check-in was efficient, and we planned to change before having dinner - but we ended up staying in the bar and eating there. The meal was very good and the staff were very attentive and friendly. Some of the same staff served breakfast the next day and it too was very good. The place was obviously well liked by the locals as it was pretty full most of the time we were there. (It turns out this is owned by the same people as The Falcon at Hatton so no surprise that the food was good)
