This hotel is well positioned and it is a gem!
Pros:

It is rare to have a hotel with such attention to detail. The room was really clean, comfortable and supplied with everything we could possibly need.
The menu was changed daily and the food which was freshly cooked was very tasty.
The staff could not have been more helpful, they were approachable, friendly, and attentive to each guests’ needs. It was obvious that there were several guests who returned regularly.

Cons:

Nothing.

1970s school dinner
Pros:

Sunday lunch in the restaurant, not much atmosphere, full of very quiet people. And overlooking the car park. The bar would have been better.
The whole place is very dated and needs a makeover. Lots of brown varnish and old carpet.
The roast lunch was very basic. Bland lamb, we were not asked how we liked it, I would have said crisp on the outside and pink towards the middle. It came like pressed composite. One roast potato, one scoop of mash with peas and carrots. Very like a school dinner from the 1970s.
The staff were friendly.
