"We stayed in a dog friendly room for the second time with our westie, it perfectly suited our needs and it was well appointed and appropriate for our trip. The staff are amazing and can't do enough to help. We found them all friendly and approachable both to ourselves and Barney our dog. Meals and especially the breakfast are outstanding and we can recommend the travellers rest grill on a morning and either the fish and chips or steak and bacon suet pudding on the evening menu."
