Overall, we had a lovely stay here.Christine is an absolute gem, she really looked after us..
Pros:

The gluten free breakfast was an absolute highlight of my stay.The staff were so welcoming, and they really were a pleasure to deal with, from Eoghan and Christine in the Reception area, to the young people waiting on tables. The bed was so comfortable, and we slept well.

Cons:

We had a carvery on arrival, which was disappointing.It was dried out, and not very pleasant to eat.Our evening meal, on our second night was somewhat better though.
Our room looked clean on appearance.However, we made a gruesome discovery of a single earring, and fake nail on the carpet.The headboard and lamp had unpleasant stains.The bathroom had an awful smell of sewer gases, especially following a shower.

The staff were absolutely amazing. So friendly & very helpful. Even the younger staff couldn’t do enough for us, t
Pros:

Quiet & well looked after. Loved the gardens especially as it was during a heatwave when we stayed.

Cons:

Unable to book a room with just a double bed, all have a single bed which takes up room.
As a couple, we would have needed 2 bath towels & 2 hand towels, there was 1 bath towel & 2 hand.
