Staff were very helpful and friendly. We had a nice clean large room. On the whole very nice hotel only negative was that the drinks in the bar, perhaps a little pricey.

Private, lovely rural situation, hot water, courtesy biscuits, friendly polite staff. Would have liked cans or bottles of Diet Coke rather than Pepsi on draught from the bar. Salad with dinner was minimal, no bread roll… but steak was good, thank you
