Hidden Gem Hotel and Quality Food

What a hidden gem of a hotel! From the anticipated needs when booking to the friendly efficient staff on arrival and throughout out our stay and not forgetting the quality food served. Probably the best cooked breakfast I’ve had too! I also have to mention the spacious deluxe room that was spotlessly clean and the team who keep it that way.
