Going back again !!!

Good stay. Food was very good. The waitress was excellent (didn’t catch her name.) was very helpful in recommending my meal although she did say the roast was good and it did look good lol ! Complimentary chocolates is a really good idea and they were delicious. Will 100% go back next time I’m in the area.

Room wasn't that clean. The toilet kept us awake all night, it kept filling up and was quite noisy. Hotel can do with a bit of an upgrade. It was pretty average.

The room and toilet were spacious which made our stay very comfortable. It only has one dining option which seems to be frequented by locals as well. The area is very peaceful and well maintained. The only con is that there isn't a lift in the property which can be challenging for someone who can't really climb stairs.
