    We have stayed before and are familiar with the accommodation. We needed a room at short notice late in the day as very poor travel conditions meant we couldn't get home. The manager and staff were very p us to break our journey and stay safe....

    The hotel is lovely. Rooms are great and food is good. Just wish we had known there were fans in the cupboard as it was one of the hottest nights in the year. Bodes well for a cosy winter night. Would definitely stay again.
