The room was comfortable and clean. Everything was well thought out and every thing easy to use. The food was very nice and the service was good. On a negative note the floor above was very squeaky and woke us up at 5.30 in the morning when they started walking up and down!

There were several family members who stayed her for a family reunion and it was perfect. Caitlin was a lovely lady who looked after us she was extremely kind and helpful nothing was too much trouble. The rest of the staff were just as nice and friendly. The meals were great and huge, it was a shame that we couldn't have stayed longer to try one of there roast dinners. The rooms were spotless and very well kept. If we needed extras for our rooms we only needed to ask. We would definitely stay here again and would recommended it, the only negative would be that the reception desk would have someone there, otherwise perfect
