We were surprised to be upgraded to a suite. It was very nice. Food was reasonably priced and we enjoyed it. Very pretty hotel. We recommend it to all.
This was a deluxe stay! The restaurant and bar were great! And the property is lovely! The only downside is that it is quite a drive in to town and we couldn’t really walk anywhere.
I rarely write reviews but I wanted to mention the staff at this hotel. They were all so lovely, in all depts - reception, bar, gym and breakfast.
Food was great, room great, nothing negative!
Brought my elderly parents for a break away . Requested ground floor room for them and we were given room next door to them - staff very friendly and the breakfast buffet delicious . Would definitely come stay here again

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
We booked this hotel because it had a pool and whirlpool but we couldn't use them as they closed early on Sunday, also the service in the bar/restaurant was poor as we had to wait on everything, we the found the bed uncomfortable but overall hotel was clean
