+ We had a really lovely stay. The decor, the comfort, cleanliness and all the little touches are to a very high standard. The food was excellent and a great variety for someone who has allergies, I am coeliac and was well catered for with the menu. Best of all, the staff, they were so friendly and helpful and nothing was a bother and always with a smile. A big Thank You to Claire who really helped us out. I would highly recommend staying here and we will definitely return. Christine & Paul
