Excellent
Pros:

The room was perfect for two of us, well kitted bathroom with great walk in shower. Food was excellent, we had an evening meal which was fantastic and the breakfast was again very good. All food freshly cooked, made a great change from "bing bing " meals. Well done to you all. Thanks

Friendly, welcoming and comfortable
Pros:

Very friendly, welcoming and helpful staff. Excellent food from the restaurant. A large room with a very comfortable bed. Convenient parking, with plenty of spaces.

Cons:

Breakfast was slow, even though there was only one other guest - we had baked croissants the first morning, which took more than 15 minutes to produce (apparently cooked from fresh, but that's too long to wait for croissants). The full English (which was excellent) we had the next morning appeared in about half that time.
