Fine for the overnight stop but wouldn't recommend and wouldn't book again.
Pros:

Food was good all freshly cooked and well presented. Breakfast was a little limited.

Cons:

The rooms were very tight and very tired. The ensuite door hit the toilet seat! Shower over bath and all looked very tired - dogs also allowed on the furniture in the bar and also allowed into the dining room! Fine for dog lovers but those of us that are not so keen do not really want to be sharing our dining experience with animals!
